We Will Not Be Silenced - Robinson & Griffin

Subtitled:  The Academic Repression of Israel's Critics

While I did not read this whole book, I took in parts of it.  It examines the stories of academics who have been blacklisted or had problems because of their academic work which was critical of Israel.  Each victim has submitted an essay on their experience, which can be interesting reading.  What I found more interesting though, were the brief accounts at the beginning of each case, that gives the basic outline of the offending work, and the methods of repression and exclusion used by the concerned organizations and institutions.
Interestingly, most, if not all, of the cases take place in the U.S.
