Professor Steven Salaita will be at UCRiverside today & UCLA on wed 2pm Royce hall room 314 PERIES: And tell me what your studies entailed. SALAITA: Mainly a comparison of the discourses of colonization during the early period of the settlement of North America, and then the colonial discourses among Zionist leaders and settlers in Palestine, and in particular the ways that those discourses focus on godly duties and responsibilities the way that they focus on notions of chosenness, the way that the native populations in both cases, the indigenous peoples of North America and then the Palestinians in the so-called holy land, are unchosen, that theyre sort of extraneous to the narratives of salvation and forgiveness, and extraneous, really, to the very concept of nation building.
