| â Richard Landes offers a sharply-drawn, no-holds-barred dissection of todayâ s campus politics at its worst. As a case study of the damage done to academic integrity by the intrusion of anti-Zionism into college life, his book is a must-read.â â Alvin H. Rosenfeld, Irving M. Glazer Chair in Jewish Studies and Director, Institute for the Study of Contemporary Antisemitism, Indiana UniversityThis compelling volume focuses on the story of Andrew Pessin, a tenured philosophy professor at Connecticut College, who was accused by students and faculty of having â directly condoned the extermination of a peopleâ based on a deliberate misreading of his 2015 Facebook post on the Israeli-Palestinian conï¬ ict. Salem on the Thames captures the events as they unfolded and discusses topics such as Western sentiments concerning Israeli-Palestinian relations, academics and free speech, antisemitism and diversity on the college campus, and social media and politics. The Pessin affair offers us a case study in a tendency towards â public shamingâ reminiscent of the Salem witch trials that deeply compromises the integrity of academia. |
