Reader comment on item: [Hamid Dabashi:] Columbia University's Hysterical Professor

Submitted by S. Brown (United States), Dec 2, 2004 at 11:35

This is for Marilyn, who wished to have the e-mail address of Dabashi. A simple query of the Columbia University website yielded the following:

Hamid Dabashi
Department Chair
610 Kent Hall
212-854-7524
hd14@columbia.edu

Make sure it is civil -- you don't want him whining to Phil Donahue again.

As an aside, I found a listing of publications in Dabashi's Columbia University website bio. "Dabashi's publications include Authority in Islam: From the Rise of Muhammad to the Establishment of the Umayyads (1989), Theology of Discontent: The Ideological Foundation of the Islamic Revolution in Iran (1993), Truth and Narrative: The Untimely Thoughts of Ayn Al-Qudat Al-Hamadhani (1999), Staging a Revolution: The Art of Persuasion in the Islamic Republic of Iran (with Peter Chelkowski, 1999), and Close Up: Iranian Cinema, Past, Present, Future (2001). "

I am particularly interested in the aforementioned "...The Art of Persuasion in the Islamic Republic of Iran...." Has he come up with anything other than the usual combination of torture and murder?
