wanderland in the mid-eastReader comment on item: The Most Embarrassingly Wrong Book Ever on the Middle East? Submitted by allan enkin (Canada), Aug 28, 2017 at 11:15 Why is it that so-called mid-east historians,or is it mid-east activists, cannot differentiate between paradigms that are ideologically based to analyse history and history based on scholarship? In academia, are we witnessing adolescent rebellion against old established methodologies of research in order to create a more "progressive" world where losers become winners?

Comments are screened and in some cases edited before posting. Reasoned disagreement is welcome but not comments that are scurrilous, off-topic, commercial, disparaging religions, or otherwise inappropriate.
