The culture wars as played out at American universities have brought the issue of academic freedom out of the ivory tower. Nelson, a literature professor and current president of the American Association of University Professors, offers insightful analysis of the history and current state of academic freedom, examining what that freedom means in the context of the broader historical pursuit of freedom from the constraints of church and state. Directly answering criticism from the National Association of Scholars and other conservative groups, Nelson addresses issues from collective bargaining to research independence to emerging threats to academic freedom, including corporate influence and religious and political intolerance. He explores the legal, political, cultural, and social meaning of academic freedom for the individual faculty member, the university, and the society at large through specific incidents at campuses throughout the U.S. and in other nations. At times overly academic, this is nonetheless a fascinating look at the roiling issues in the inner world of academia and their impact on a broader democratic society.
