Barry, where do you find the people selected for the daily excerpt. Never heard of Achille but after looking him up I found that 1) he's too young to have read in my college political philosophy classes but 2) I need to read more! Thanks for the daily enlightenment.

A really good question. Sometimes I'll read, say, something in London Review of Books and it will review an author, like Mbembe, whom I have never heard of. I'll do some research and see if there's enough to spend a week on.
