<nettime> Empire in Arabic...

[Patrice Riemens <patrice@xs4all.nl>]

Just picked up from the Multitudes list, where Francois Matheron tells
that he learned at a recent 'Spinozist' conference that Empire (by Hardt &
Negri)  had been translated & published in Arabic, "not by a small time
leftist Lebanese publisher, oh no, but by a big Saoudi publishing house,
directly linked to the regime, with the translation work done by a Saoudi
Islamist. That too is the reality of Empire".

Interesting times...
