Book Overview

Extremism, antisemitism and intolerance are thriving on campus. How did this happen? After October 7, the university - an institution dedicated to the search for truth, knowledge and freedom - became overrun by a toxic and dangerous fervor. Civil discourse was abandoned, as campuses became the epicenter of hate speech, bigotry, conspiracy theories, denialism and antisemitism. Yet, as Cary Nelson reveals, this betrayal of the university's ideals was decades in the making.
