Does anyone have any reading recommendations on the environmental history and/or political economy of agribusiness?
I hope faculty who are removing race, gender, and other targeted topics off their syllabi understand that: 1) cowardice will not save you, and 2) you are increasing the scrutiny on your colleagues who cannot or will not abandon these research areas. Have some damn solidarity.
The far-right is labelling this as some attempt to establish a shariah zone, but the irony is that EPIC City is just following in the tradition of evangelical suburbanization. If the Wot hadn't happened, the GOP would likely be defending the "property rights" of Muslim homeowners
Both communities seek to construct suburban enclaves that isolate them from the perceived immorality of broader society. Just take a look at the EPIC-City, a planned mosque-centered suburban community currently undergoing construction in the DFW area.
Timur's hand-over of Ottoman prisoners to the Safavid Shaykh Kvajeh Ali most likely catalyzed the transition of his order to one of ghulat Shia persuasion. Those prisoners became the core Safavid fighting force & ghulat Shi'ism was "infinitely more rife" in Anatolia than Persia.

There's an intellectual history to be written about the resonances between the political consultants who created the New Right (Phillips, Buchanan, Viguerie) and the cultural turn in leftist academia. They thought of class, power, and discourse in very similar ways.
Interesting analysis; fwiw, I do think Nixon and his team had a pretty good understanding of Thompsonian class formation

Few thoughts on this thread: First of all, it focuses on the empire as a 'state' ( the reference to Congo should make it clear ) and how it 'emerged' ( and not its expansion and subsequent trajectory ). I think it was in Seal's book that I first read that India's real value
There is confusion in popular history on how the British Empire emerged. Depending on time and place, European empires emerged through two routes. Chronologically earlier was the alliance route. When the agent was a maritime merchant, inland states existed, alliances ruled.
