The narrative highlights the activism of AD KAN, a protest movement formed by Israeli academics at Tel Aviv University during the first Palestinian Intifada, opposing the occupation of Palestinian territories. It examines the decline of public dissent on Israeli campuses following significant political events, such as Prime Minister Rabin's assassination and the collapse of the Oslo accord. The book also engages with theoretical discussions on the intellectual's role in society and draws parallels with academic activism in other countries during times of political turmoil.
