The academic boycott of Israeli academic institutions is a key component of this movement. What is this boycott? Why does it make sense? And why is this an American Studies issue? In this short essential book, Sunaina Maira addresses these key questions. Boycott! situates the academic boycott in the broader history of boycotts in the United States as well as in Palestine and shows how it has evolved into a transnational social movement that has spurred profound intellectual and political shifts. It explores the movement's implications for antiracist, feminist, queer, and academic labor organizing and examines the boycott in the context of debates about Palestine, Zionism, race, rights-based politics, academic freedom, decolonization, and neoliberal capitalism. 606 $aAcademic freedom$zUnited States 606 $aBoycotts$zUnited States$y21st century 606 $aAcademic freedom$zPalestine 606 $aBoycotts$zPalestine$y21st century 606 $aArab-Israeli conflict$xSocial aspects 610 $aacademic boycott. 610 $aacademic freedom. 610 $aacademic labor. 610 $aacademic. 610 $aamerican history. 610 $aamerican studies. 610 $aantiracist. 610 $abds. 610 $aboycott. 610 $acapitalism. 610 $acollege. 610 $acontroversial. 610 $adecolonization. 610 $adivestment. 610 $afeminist. 610 $aisraeli. 610 $akey questions. 610 $aneoliberal. 610 $apalestine. 610 $apolitical movement. 610 $apolitics. 610 $aqueer. 610 $arace. 610 $aracism. 610 $aright wing politics. 610 $asanctions. 610 $asocial movement. 610 $atransnational. 610 $aunited states. 610 $aus history. 610 $azionism. 615 0$aAcademic freedom 615 0$aBoycotts 615 0$aAcademic freedom 615 0$aBoycotts 615 0$aArab-Israeli conflict$xSocial aspects. 676 $a371.1/04 700 $aMaira$b Sunaina$01185765 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910794921103321 996 $aBoycott$93806260 997 $aUNINA
