 wheelchair access\n\nIn deftly demonstrating that Palestinian solidarity 
 belongs at the center of all our justice concerns, Boycott! both 
 exemplifies the challenge of this moment and urges us to fearlessly rise up 
 to it."   - Angela Davis, Distinguished Professor Emerita, U.C. Santa 
 Cruz\n\nThe Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions Movement (BDS) has expanded 
 rapidly though controversially in the United States in the past five years. 
 The academic boycott of Israeli academic institutions is a key component of 
 that movement. What is this boycott?  Why does it make sense?  Why is this 
 an American Studies issue?  These key questions and many others are 
 answered in this short essential book. Boycott! situates the academic 
 boycott in the broader history of boycotts in the United States as well as 
 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.\n\n"For many years, Sunaina 
 Maira has been a leader in the BDS movement, where she is greatly respected 
 for her kindness, insight, maturity, and devotion. These same qualities can 
 be found in her scholarship, as this book shows.  Anybody claiming to be 
 interested in justice needs to read this." -Steven Salaita, author of 
 Uncivil Rites: Palestine and the Limits of Academic Freedom\n\nSunaina 
 Maira is Professor of Asian American Studies at the University of 
 California, Davis.\n\nHosted by Vylma V.\n\n$12 advance, $15 door.\n
