Edward Said wrote about the racist function of the label "terrorist" back in 1986 in this book review: www.thenation.com/article/arch...

The book he was critiquing was "Terrorism: How the West Can Win", by Benjamin Netanyahu.

I've set up a new Starter Pack for colleagues in the School of Government at the University of Birmingham. Such a fantastic and diverse range of academics (and far more than I expected when I thought I'd procrastinate for just a few minutes setting this up...). 👇
