A few things that I picked up around the web but I have nothing special to say about:<\/p>\n
  • A fun story from the October 1854 issue of Harper’s called The Oriental Merchant<\/a>. Rummage around the site and there are some great 19th century orientalist stories.<\/li>\n
  • Mona Baker’s site<\/a>, which leads with an important appeal to defend Columbia University Assistant Professor Joseph Massad, who is coming under attack by the usual suspects for having opinions of his own.<\/li>\n

  • We’ve mentioned Al Hurra a few times here in the past few weeks, but Abu Aardvark<\/a> has a bit more with rumors of impending shake-ups. Also check out his links<\/a> covering protests over human rights activist Abd al Hadi al Khawaja’s arrest, which we’ve covered before. Update<\/b>:<\/li>\n
