Native informers’ writings help dehumanize populations that are then killed with impunity

Evidence

The names I have mentioned—Azar Nafisi, Ibn Warraq, and so on—are sites not citations, personas not persons. I hold their writings and other utterances responsible for having helped dehumanize populations that can then be murdered—by the hundreds in Palestine, the thousands in Lebanon, the hundreds of thousands in Iraq—with total impunity. — Hamid Dabashi, Brown Skin, White Masks, 636
