As a child growing up in a small town in the South, I had little knowledge of anti-Semitism. All I knew about Israel came from reading a paperback copy of Leon Uris’s Exodus. While my knowledge has increased over the decades, the novelty of the subject made me approach my reading of The UnCivil University, by Gary Tobin, Aryeh Kaufmann Weinberg and Jenna Ferer, with a mixture of excitement and trepidation.

The UnCivil University is the first volume in the series, Politics and Propaganda in American Education, published by the Institute for Jewish and Community Research, in San Francisco. The text is organized into three sections with the first “define[ing] anti-Semitism and anti-Israelism as an ideology,” the second “provide[ing] evidence about the expression of anti-Semitism and anti-Israelism to understand how this ideology presents itself as behaviors as well as ideas” and the third “examin[ing] how the presence of anti-Semitism and anti-Isrealism on campus reveals where reform is needed in higher education.”
