With the suffix "El Haj" attached to her name, what else could you expect from her "scholarly work" on the topic?
>>“an anthropology of colonialism and nationalism, which follows Foucault and Said”
That's where I stopped reading. If it follows Said, it's anti-Western drivel, all dressed up for academe, and full of hate.

Fascinating post SJackson. The muslims have this in common with the socialists: they not only murder people, they murder history as well.
The once proud academic reputation of the University of Chicago is fast falling to the anti-Semitic, anti-American, and PC BS of its northeastern counterparts. The hysterical attack on the US forces accusing them of sacking the Bagdhad museum by the director of the Oriental Institute on campus, the publishing of the immature, statistical hack-piece of Freakonomics, and, now, praising this pseudo-academic 'analysis'. I wonder how much the UC campus Hillel Society donates to the Palestinean Authority?
Multiculturalism run amok. Columbia should hang its head in shame.
Isn't it fascinating that a supposedly leading American University is so willing to abandon the concept of Truth upon which our universities and our Nation were founded. It seems to be the case that in the name of a sacred "diversity" they are willing to adopt the Islamofascist concept of truth, that is, that which serves Islamofascist conquest by the sword of oil and propaganda.
From the school of the Discovery Chanel's darling, Zahi Hawass. This is the kind of thinking that uncovers ancient synagogues and insist they were centres of arab entertainment and culture, and says there were no Hebrew slaves in Egypt. Soon they'll teach this drivel to our kids who will ask at Pesach, "from where did Moses lead us" --- drivel. And it's coming to the mainstream near you.
The land of Israel belongs to Israel. It was given to them in perpetuity by the Owner Of The Earth. He has a right to throw them out and the right to bring them back, both of which He has done twice.
End of subject.
Oh great, I have to submit a review Said's Orientalism for class next month...
oh well, the way this semester is going why should I be suprised at more lefty drivel?
What's this? Frontpage mag's Hugh Fitzgerald stoops to politcal correctness?
As the good people of the world hope against hope that Europeans will awaken from denial in time to save themselves, they also hope for a generalized Jewish awakening that will repudiate and reject the Left once and for all.
There are many similarities between Islamic fanaticism and the Left. If they could sort out the rhetoric, they could combine.
There is nothing liberal about the Left.
The decadence that has infected American academia, journalism, Hollywood, and the Democrat Party have and deserve the utter contempt of clear thinking, benevolent, wise and liberal people everywhere.
There could be no more obvious a manifestation of the decadence and depravity of the Left than its disgusting, horrifying, and obviously Naziesque anti-Semitism.
It's like The Invasion of the Body Snatchers.
Those infected with it intend to spread the infection with the singlemindedness and fanaticism of mad Ahab. If the people of the West are foolish enough to let them have their way, their fate will be that of the Pequod.
Warning! This is a high-volume ping list.
Ping!
They lost me at BCE as well.
