I've never advocated throwing out all scholarship on Crusades (despite accusations to the contrary). We should be aware of its sometimes colonial subtext though. #medievaltwitterhttps://twitter.com/homophonous/status/946763848522043394 …
If he can lay bare his methodological frames including his situatedness and ethical and political commitments as to why he is not speaking about not doing scholarship about various indigenous languages, in a book from the late 90s, why are we having this hand wringing?
