Why read it?

1 author picked Towers of Ivory and Steel as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Excellent book from Maya Wind, which goes into great detail on the ways that Israeli universities support and uphold the illegal occupation of Palestine. This book was written in response to the usual hesitation for academics to uphold boycott calls on Israeli universities, with the justification that these 'liberal' institutions must be supported to help bolster them against the right-wing Israeli government(s). However, this book dispels these myths, and demonstrates clearly that Israeli universities are crucial for the maintenance of the occupation of Palestinian lands
