Compare Israel Denial by Cary Nelson, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters

Israel Denial is the first book to offer detailed analyses of the work faculty members have published?individually and collectively?in support of the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement; it contrasts their claims with options for promoting peace. The faculty discussed here have devoted a significant part of their professional lives to delegitimizing the Jewish state. While there are beliefs they hold in common?including the conviction that there is nothing good to say about Israel?they also develop distinctive arguments designed to recruit converts to their cause in novel ways. They do so both as writers and as teachers; Israel Denial is the first to give substantial attention to anti-Zionist pedagogy. No effort to understand the BDS movement's impact on the academy and public policy can be complete without the kind of understanding this book offers.
