Transcription of Annotations
Notes from front endpapers: "Tuesday, Apr. 24. - Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs: principles founded by Mike Melken [?]. - Justus Reid Weiner. - 1993: Oslo Accord, p. 63-99. - A few annotations by Brian Lamb in the margins and underlining of some pertinent phrases throughout the book. -- Examples: p. xv: "...a great revision has taken place in cultural discussion which in my own way I feel I have contributed to, namely, the critique of Eurocentrism...". - p. 188: "Yet all of these Parisian intellectuals were deeply rooted in the political actualities of French life, the great milestones of which were World War II, the response to European communism, the Vietnamese and Algerian colonial wars, and May 1968. Beyond France, it was Germany and German thought that mattered most, rarely the work of British or American writers." - p. 500: "In other universities in other parts of the world, of course, the academy is part of the political system and academic appointments are necessarily, very often the case, outright political appointments." - p. 506: "I think the proper attitude of the intellectual outside the academy is some sort of defiance. ...it is much more important than getting one more award or one more prize." - p. 573: "Is it wise as an intellectual and a scholarly expert to produce a simplified map of the world and then hand it to generals and civilian law-makers as a prescription for first comprehending and then acting in the world?"
