Just heard a great interview on KPFA’s Hard Knock Radio with one of the “interventionists,” who has the wonderful nom de plume “Majime Sugiru.”

The interview begins at 6:40. Unfortunately the interview will only be available online for two weeks.

I just got the dual pamphlets in the mail: Like the website, very nicely done.

Matthew, I get the impression from the blog that it’s not grad students — they mention their “uncredentialed” status.

I was impressed by the nuance of the parody and how well it exemplified Orientalist rhetoric without waxing (too) ridiculous. Do we know which team of graduates students is likely behind it?
