Back from Hiatus

This blog hasn't been updated for some months now. Finishing my thesis work was even more time-consuming than expected, along with preparing some work for publication and teaching for the semester. Time to get back to work. Upcoming posts on Wikileaks, peace negotiations in Israel-Palestine, Egyptian elections, and of course other topics in Middle East history and politics. Also keep an eye out for my upcoming paper "Hell of a Life: Kanye West, Durkheim, and the Holy Land".
