Reviews
"In the midst of a torrent of threats to academic freedom in higher education, No University Is an Island arrives to tell us why to propose solutions. As Nelson makes clear, all of our freedoms depend on our ability to educate our students to be critical citizens. Everyone concerned about the future of freedom should read this book." -Anthony D. Romero,Executive Director, American Civil Liberties Union, "A report from the front lines, from the most influential president of the AAUP in the past fifty years." - Jeffrey Williams, Carnegie Mellon University, "Whether or not one agrees with [Nelson] on how to attain these purposes, his devotion to all that higher education stands for at its very best is admirable. His overall point is irrefutable. No university is an island, and we shall all swim together or we shall sink separately." - Times Higher Education ,, "This valuable and lively polemic will be of particular interest to readers already familiar with campus issues and the political struggle over faculty rights and responsibilities." -Library Journal, "Cary Nelson's book No University Is an Island brings together many of the different issues currently facing universities. While his main theme is academic freedom, he is able to locate this central educational value at the intersection of several interlocking forces: privatization, casualization, corporatization, and globalization...The greatest strength of Nelson's book is that it constantly returns to the idea that only the faculty working collectively can defend the university as a public good. By chiding some of his colleagues for focusing too much on their own careers, he makes a strong plea for all faculty members to take back their institutions, and by documenting cases of effective faculty resistance, Nelson provides a glimmer of hope in these dark times." - The Huffington Post, "Nelson recalls (accurately) that when he and I discussed the role of politics in the classroom at a public forum and he reported proudly on his practice of inserting the names Bush and Cheney into a poem about a past military disaster, I declared that 'If I were Cary's dean, I would fire him immediately.' But upon reflection, and after having read this impassioned and worthwhile book, I am moved to reconsider." -Stanley Fish, The New York Times ' "Opinionator" blog, "Whether or not one agrees with [Nelson] on how to attain these purposes, his devotion to all that higher education stands for at its very best is admirable.

It lays out, in persuasive and often poetic language, the challenges we face and creative solutions for meeting them. Cary's impassioned advocacy of the AAUP and its noble history is made still more convincing by his honesty in reporting where we have occasionally faltered and where we must do better." -Jane Buck,AAUP President 2000 to 2006, "Nelson'sNo University is an Island: Saving Academic Freedom reminds us that academic freedom is continuously under assault . . . His book, which developed out of conversations with academics all over the country, is a rich and comprehensive set of field notes on the challenges to academic freedom." -Jeffrey R. Di Leo, symploke, "But the tenure system, which is already being eroded by the growth of contingent labor, is not the only thing that is under assault in the top-down, corporatized academy. As Cary Nelson explains in No University Is an Island (2010), shared governance'e"the principle that universities should be controlled by their faculties, which protects academic values against the encroachments of the spreadsheet brigade'e"is also threatened by the changing structure of academic work." -William Deresiewicz, The Nation, "The battlefield is far more varied now than it was in 1915 or in 1940, when the AAUP and the Association of American Colleges issued the landmark; but that is in part precisely because of the AAUP. Peer review, job security, freedom to pursue ideas- in this job mark? Tenure? It sounds crazy. As our professional control of our workplace is fast eroding, Neoliberal U is surely no island of paradise. It can be otherwise, exhorts Nelson. Join up."-Academe,, "If I were Cary's dean I'd fire him immediately." Stanley Fish "A report from the front lines, from the most influential president of the AAUP in the past fifty years."

Romero, Executive Director, American Civil Liberties Union"Academic freedom, as imbedded in the customs and practices of institutions of higher education, is an essential ingredient of intellectual life. It ensures the remarkable progress in all disciplines and underpins the vast changes that have collectively defined the world in which we live. It is difficult, if not impossible to imagine that the modern university could not exist, much less succeed, without it....Cary Nelson seeks to provide [guidance for the futureof academic freedom] in this engaging book that starts with the premise that academic freedom is under attack and that it needs "saving".... The scholarship is extensive and makes several telling points...." - Charles R. Middleton, Times Higher Education "Cary Nelson's book No University Is an Island brings together many of the different issues currently facing universities.

Join up.")-(Academe),(), Nelson is as determined to protect the academic freedom of contingent faculty as of full professors . . . he speaks up not only for academic freedom, but for better wages and conditions., "Nelson recalls (accurately) that when he and I discussed the role of politics in the classroom at a public forum and he reported proudly on his practice of inserting the names Bush and Cheney into a poem about a past military disaster, I declared that 'If I were Cary's dean, I would fire him immediately.' But upon reflection, and after having read this impassioned and worthwhile book, I am moved to reconsider." - Stanley Fish,The New York Times' "Opinionator" blog, "Nelson's nuanced analysis of academic freedom is a wake-up call for all who seek a vibrant alternative to the corporate university. We must, he argues, accept the social responsibility we owe to our students, our colleagues, and our communities. He challenges unions to embrace the public good and makes a compelling case for the role they should play in restoring academic freedom and shared governance." - Lillian Taiz, President, California Faculty Association, The battlefield is far more varied now than it was in 1915 or in 1940, when the AAUP and the Association of American Colleges issued the landmark; but that is in part precisely because of the AAUP.

Di Leo, symploke, joins a growing chorus of case studies, memoirs, and research about the implications of the corporate university model... The sense of academic memory and action is what one takes from the book., Nelson is a lively polemicist and academic freedom offers a promising organizing concept for thinking about contemporary higher education., "At the time Nelson wrote Manifesto of a Tenured Radical , he was deeply involved in the effort to bring graduate student unionization to his campus. Among the chief recommendation in that book were that graduate students on other campuses should also unionize and that faculty should assist. No University Is an Island makes these recommendations just as vociferously as ever, this time from the bully pulpit of one of American academia's most venerable organizations. In the end, the "tenured radical" has merely emerged in a new context. If the tone and terminology now seek greater consensus than before, it is with the aim of winning larger stakes in an ongoing struggle to resist the encroachment of economic instrumentalism into one of the few realms where knowledge for its own sake-- and cultural criticism-- have traditionally been valued and protected.", "joins a growing chorus of case studies, memoirs, and research about the implications of the corporate university model...
