“All of the books I have the privilege of helping into the world in my position at Verso contribute in their own way towards a project of collective liberation. That is the whole reason I do the job. It is nonetheless true that some do so more directly than others. Maya Wind’s Towers of Ivory and Steel does so more than most.”

-Rosie Warren, Verso Blog

“Maya Wind's new book meticulously demonstrates how Israeli academic institutions were created to serve the Zionist colonization of Palestine.”

-Marcy Newman, Mondoweiss

Selected as a February MUST READ by Ms. Magazine

“It’s far past time we hold institutions accountable for the harm they inflict on oppressed peoples from across the spectrum of identity and experience. This goes double for institutions of higher education, as Maya Wind and I agree. Uncomfortable yet necessary, this is a brave reckoning. “

“Wind’s timely exposé of the struggle for power over Palestinian rights, Palestinian land, and ultimately over Palestinian lives that is currently taking place in Israeli universities will serve as a guide to everyone responding to the call for an academic and cultural boycott of Israel”

- Rebecca Ruth Gould, The New Arab

“Each chapter of the book begins with a present-day outrage, an example of the colonial-settler nature of Israeli universities. This gives us an on-the-spot and as near-as-possible up-to-date insight into what Palestinians are facing.”

-Ian Parker, Anti Capitalist Resistance
