Scholarship, Censorship, Exclusion on MLA Commons 10 years, 10 months agoIn this brilliant article written in 2003, Ellen Willis considers the the arguments America’s left has deployed in turning from Zionism.

Russell A. Berman started the topic The "Institutional Boycott" and the MLA Bibliography in the discussion
Scholarship, Censorship, Exclusion on MLA Commons 10 years, 10 months agoBDS proponents claim only an “institutional boycott” is at stake that will not be directed against individuals. That distinction between institution and individual is untenable, as has been argued elsewhere.

Let us leave aside here the ambiguity of individual vs. institution (would the chair of a literature…[Read more]

Salah D. Hassan replied to the topic Palestinian Human Rights Leader Attacks the Boycott in the discussion
