58 reviewsIsraeli universities have long enjoyed a reputation as liberal bastions of freedom & democracy. Drawing on extensive research & making Hebrew sources accessible to the international community, Maya Wind shatters this myth & documents how Israeli universities are directly complicit in the violation of Palestinian rights.
As this book shows, Israeli universities serve as pillars of Israel's system of oppression against Palestinians. Academic disciplines, degree programs, campus infrastructure, & research laboratories all service Israeli occupation & apartheid, while universities violate the rights of Palestinians to education, stifle critical scholarship, & violently repress student dissent. Towers of Ivory & Steel is a powerful expose of Israeli academia’s ongoing & active complicity in Israel’s settler-colonial project.

I am a Killam Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Anthropology at the University of British Columbia. My work investigates the reproduction of settler societies & global systems of militarism & policing. My first book, Towers of Ivory & Steel argues that Israeli institutions of higher education are enlisted in Israel’s settler-colonial project. From campuses strategically built to anchor Israeli territorial expansion & Palestinian dispossession, through tailored degree programs for the military & secret police, to academic disciplines subordinating their research agendas to service military rule, Israeli universities are imbricated with the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territory. Challenging the widespread understanding of Israeli universities as bastions of democracy, the book shows how Israel’s most vaunted liberal institutions are also sites where colonial expertise is reproduced & where Palestinian critical scholarship, pedagogy, & student dissent are stifled.
