Mohammad R. Salama. Islam, Orientalism and Intellectual History: Modernity and the Politics of Exclusion since Ibn Khaldūn.
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In a world in which “Islamism” has become even more fraught than it was when this book was first published in 2011, Mohammad R. Salama argues for the importance of investigating the historical nature of Islam's relationship with the West. His focus on contemporary attacks on Islam and Arabs in Europe and America is certainly justified, as is his insistence that scholars examine how these attitudes have been constructed. Two long chapters at the beginning and end of the book serve as the anchors for this project. Salama begins with a discussion of the challenges to historiography from literary theory, and concludes with a study of the tensions between liberal ideology and the management of Islam in colonial Egypt. Three shorter chapters focus on particular moments in intellectual history: Ibn Khaldūn's intellectual identity, the place of the Orient in Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel's philosophy, and the rise of Islam as a historical category in colonial British thought.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
