Assuming Boycott

As a collection of essays, it's somewhat uneven, but mostly worthwhile. There are some interesting ideas in here I hadn't previously been exposed to, particularly in providing details about how the Anti-Apartheid Movement played out, and perspectives on BDS (Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions) against Israel and the Gulf Labor efforts targeting the Guggenheim. There was one supremely bad take on free speech and “censorship” that is an embarrassment to the rest of the volume. If you're interested in boycott and divestment as tactics, or if you're a “cultural producer” interested in the artist's role in politics, it's worth checking out.
