The center-periphery axis no longer maps intellectual location

Evidence

Massad’s comprador intellectuals could be in or out of Palestine, within the 1948 or 1967 borders or out in the diaspora. Where they reside does not really matter; they no longer have a fixed location on what Appiah calls “the periphery”, and thus the whole axis of center-periphery reveals itself as misplaced and Active. — Hamid Dabashi, Brown Skin, White Masks, 230
