Anti-Zionism on Campus: The University, Free Speech, and BDS is a 2018 book edited by Andrew Pessin and Doron Ben-Atar about anti-Israel political activism and antisemitism on American university campuses.
It is the first university press book to delve into the "systematic assaults against Israel—and by extension Jews" that became common on American campuses in this century.[1] Judea Pearl, director of the Cognitive Systems Laboratory at UCLA, calls it an "important book."[2]
Far from being a collection of scholarly essays about antisemitism, Anti-Zionism on Campus an "important new collection" [3] of first-person accounts by scholars who have been the target of antisemitic agitation on American university campuses.[1][4] Jonathan Kirsch writing in the The Jewish Journal of Greater Los Angeles called these chapters a "parade of horribles" in which students attending routine social and academic events such as "talks by famous people about their Jewish heritage, campus Shabbat dinners, and Hillel student meetings,” are accosted by protestors shouting anti-Israel slogans.[5]
