Summary:

"This book explores the global attack on higher education and academic freedom in the early decades of the twenty-first century. It argues that today, unlike the past, society is facing a global wave of antidemocratic governance and rise of extremist far-right political leaders. This text aims to reinforce the importance of higher education and why it is crucial to be informed on the attacks on universities and colleges in the United States and around the world"-- Provided by publisher.
