Full disclosure

I started this one, working mostly from an obituary by Edward Said; I knew Abu-Lughod's daughter Deena in college. - Jmabel | Talk 07:38, 18 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Other sources

I haven't yet followed up to see what I can double-source, but other obviously useful references include:

Jamal R. Nassar, "Ibrahim Abu-Lughod: the legacy of an activist scholar and teacher", Arab Studies Quarterly, Fall 2004.
- I've now mined this one - Jmabel | Talk 16:59, 18 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Birzeit University Mourns the Late Professor Ibrahim Abu Lughod, May 23, 2001, official statement from Birzeit University
- Mined this one, too.

It looks like there are literally dozens of brief biographies on line; at a quick skim, I don't see any disagreement on the basic facts I've placed in the article. - Jmabel | Talk 07:48, 18 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Great article. He was editor rather than author for some of these works. --Zero^talk 13:13, 20 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I suspected as much. Gerner (where I got the list) was vague on this. If you can sort it out, great. - Jmabel | Talk 01:44, 21 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
