[lbo-talk] churchill's essay

[Joel Schalit]

sure. but to respect the perspectives of my fellow editors (in their  
absence from this list), from what I've read, they clearly have a lot  
of personal affection for Churchill, and their personal experience of  
him is far more nuanced than any of his political pronouncements or  
written work. i dislike and disagree with a lot of Churchill's work,  
but don't detect the same biases in my colleagues estimations of his  
oeuvre. clearly he's been very active in promoting the work of  
minority scholars and methodologically heterodox work - one of my  
colleagues whom he actively promoted is the single biggest french- 
styled cult studies postmodernist i have ever met. so, this is a  
curious event in and of itself from this observer's perspective.
