Refaat and I did our masters together. He was ahead of his time and understood that a shift in the centres of knowledge was necessary for liberation. Completing his PhD in Malaysia was an act of resistance against the hegemony of western academia. Honoured to have known him.

Refaat Alareer got his masters degree from the university I teach at, which in the last two months has said exactly zero about genocide, has ignored calls to divest from funding the Israeli military, and has tried to intimidate people expressing support for Palestine

Refaat's heaven is a library Where pages bloom in the buds of leaves and rivers of ink flow. Birds sing in verse and the buzz of holy recitation is in the air. Even in heaven, Refaat wears his freshly pressed shirts and thin spectacles. Because in heaven, there are many books.

When I first started my PhD on 'Literature as Propaganda in Iraq' ten years ago, most scholars considered the term lazy and redundant 'even' when studying authoritarian regimes. Nowadays propaganda studies is literally a field and the object of study has shifted westward.

Two claims were made about me by a reviewer: that I was young (disputable) and that I was Iraqi (untrue). I fail to see what either age or origin have to do with scholarship, unless the reviewer, by implication, feels that they do. I do wish books could be blind reviewed.

Likewise, Sharqawi's texts combine both Shii and Sunni knowledge traditions. His book 'The Nine Imams of Islamic Jurisprudence' includes Zayd ibn Ali ibn al-Husayn and Ja'far al-Sadiq. A fiction writer, he narrativized Islamic history in a way that appealed to modern readers.
