This book chronicles Zunar's fight through cartoons from 2009 to
2018. Peppered within the pages of this book are some of Zunar's
timeless philosophies on cartooning, which have kept him going
despite the odds stacked against him - arrests, court charges,
banning of books, travel ban. In this book, Zunar also sheds light
on the methodological approach he utilises in his cartoons to
effectively deliver his messages. From the conception of a cartoon
right down to inking it, Zunar bares what goes on his mind when he
draws these cartoons. From being labelled controversial to becoming
an award winning cartoonist, this is Zunar's fight through cartoons
in his own words.

Traditionally, our society has broadly agreed that the "good
university" should teach the intellectual skills students need to
become citizens who are intelligently critical of their own beliefs
and of the narratives presented politicians, society, the media,
and, indeed, universities themselves. The freedom to debate is
essential to the development of critical thought, but on university
campuses today free speech is increasingly restricted for fear of
causing "offense." In this daring and intrepid book, which was
originally withdrawn from publication by another publisher but is
now proudly presented by Academica Press, the famous intelligence
researcher James R. Flynn presents the underlying factors that have
circumscribed the range of ideas now tolerated in our institutions
of learning. Flynn studiously examines how universities effectively
censor teaching, how social and political activism effectively
censors its opponents, and how academics censor themselves and each
other. A Book Too Risky To Publish concludes that few universities
are now living up to their original mission to promote free inquiry
and unfettered critical thought. In an age marred by fake news and
ever increasing social and political polarization, this book makes
an impassioned argument for a return to critical thought in our
institutions of higher education.
