Eve Darian-Smith’s Policing Higher Education: The Antidemocratic Attack on Scholars and Why It Matters is a timely volume that discusses the antidemocratic forces increasingly threatening higher education on a global scale. … While the author, who’s the chair of the Department of Global and International Studies at the University of California, Irvine, focuses on how these influences are playing out in the United States, she extends her analysis to the extremist politics threatening academic freedom in other democracies, an outcome she claims is “emblematic of a destabilized world order.”
