Maya Wind on her book Towers of Ivory and Steel

 

Israeli universities have long enjoyed a reputation as bastions of liberal democracy even as Israel continues to bomb schools in Gaza in its genocidal war.  Jan Haaken talks with Maya Wind about her new book, "Towers of Steel: How Israeli Universities Deny Palestinian Freedom."  In the book, Wind documents how Israeli universities are directly complicit in the violation of Palestinian rights. Wind is a President’s and Andrew W. Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow in the Departments of Black Study and Media & Cultural Studies at the University of California Riverside. Her scholarship broadly investigates how settler societies and global systems of militarism and policing are sustained, with a particular focus on the reproduction and export of Israeli security expertise.
