Assuming Boycott: Resistance, Agency, and Cultural Production (OR Books, 2017), co-edited by Raicovich, Carin Kuoni, and Kareem Estefan, explores the urgent territory of artistic production and resistance. Assuming Boycott is an essential reader for today’s creative leaders and cultural practitioners, including original contributions by artists, scholars, activists, critics, curators and writers who examine the historical precedent of South Africa; the current cultural boycott of Israel; freedom of speech and self-censorship; and long-distance activism. Far from withdrawal or cynicism, boycott emerges as a productive tool of creative and productive engagement.
