Civility, Free Speech, and Academic Freedom in Higher Education edited by Reshmi Dutt-Ballerstadt and Kakali Bhattacharya
"This is the book we've been waiting for: a riveting account of the long war on academic freedom, free speech and political dissent in the academy from the standpoint of its heroic victims. Scholars engaged in the most advanced writing and activism around Black Lives Matter, Palestine solidarity, and critiques of U.S. empire testify from the front-lines of the struggle to decolonize higher education. This is the best volume we have yet exposing the sham use of 'civility' discourse to silence those who speak truth to power." - Bill V. Mullen, Professor Emeritus of American Studies, Purdue University USA
- New and original essays shed light and further the debate on the various modes of civility that have become politicized within the U.S. academy.

Disrupting Hate in Education edited by Rita Verma and Michael W. Apple

Noguera, PhD, Distinguished Professor of Education Faculty Director, Center for the Transformation of Schools, UCLA Graduate School of Education & Information Studies
