The most based of historians, a man who has suffered persecution as w ell as physical, financial, and psychological attack because he dares to speak the truth to power. He's punching up, no matter how much they try to grind him down. Future generations will honour him.

The Culture of Critique. All of what my teachers in college had been saying to me suddenly made sense. I understood, once I had the missing pieces provided by this book, exactly what had been going on throughout my life. Really opened my eyes, I buy copies for people all the time.

>NAS member Bruce Gilley’s article, “The Case for Colonialism,” went through double blind peer review and was published in Third World Quarterly in 2017. It provoked enormous controversy and generated two separate petitions signed by thousands of academics demanding that it be retracted, that TWQ apologize, and that the editor or editors responsible for its publication be dismissed. Fifteen members of the journal’s thirty-four-member editorial board also resigned in protest. Publisher Taylor and Francis issued a detailed explanation of the peer review process that the article had undergone, countering accusations of “poorly executed pseudo-‘scholarship,’” in the words of one of the petitions. But serious threats of violence against the editor led the journal to withdraw the article, both in print and online. Gilley was also personally and professionally attacked and received death threats. On the good side, many rallied to his defence, including Noam Chomsky, and many supported the general argument of the article. We publish it here in its entirety, conformed to US English and our style.

Scary to be around people who question authority, who are rebels against the mainstream narrative, ain't it? ;-)
