#medievaltwitter when was the last time you saw a 40+ page review attacking a book by a white male scholar?
I read the review, and while you certainly make a salient point I think that the review is measured and valid in its own right also.

Did it need 40+ pages to be that way? And can it genuinely be measured and valid if it wouldn’t exist in that form were it not for systemic and structural racism in medieval studies?

I think, and I say this as a white non-Jewish person, that a Jewish scholar has the right to discuss and respond to things in the book that she does not agree with and I think that making it out to be that this wouldn’t have happened if the author was a white man elides this.
