If you are (or know) a graduate student @umich.edu interested in empire, colonialism, and decolonization, I'm teaching a seminar on these topics this coming winter entitled Postcolonial Political Theory. I'm excited to teach a whole new slate of new work by some amazing scholars.

Below a Doonesbury comic on Israel’s invasion of Lebanon in 1982. During that time, Thomas Friedman (yes, that one) described the Israeli bombing as “indiscriminate.” The Israeli approach to labeling any and all Palestinians “terrorists is nothing new and has justified massacres for a long long time

Dr. Charisse Burden-Stelly’s book arrived today. And not a moment too soon for understanding the longue duree repressive compulsions of US capitalist racism. Cannot wait to dig into this.
