Cliopatria Welcomes Greg Robinson ...

Cliopatria welcomes Greg Robinson to its circle. Professor Robinson earned his doctorate at New York University and is now an assistant professor of history at the Université du Québec À Montréal, where his courses are conducted entirely in French. On the staff of the Encyclopedia of African American Culture and History (1995- ), he served with Jack Salzman, David Lionel Smith, and Cornel West, moving from Assistant Editor to Co-Editor of the Supplement. In 2001, Harvard University Press published his book, By Order of the President: FDR and the Internment of Japanese Americans, which was well reviewed in the Christian Science Monitor, the Economist, the Los Angeles Times, the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal and elsewhere. Subsequently, Robinson became better known at HNN and elsewhere when he and Eric Muller of the University of North Carolina organized the Historians' Committee for Fairness to protest claims made in Michelle Malkin's In Defense of Internment: The Case for Racial Profiling in World War II and the War on Terror. TimBurke, Jonathan Dresner, and I joined in that discussion, as well. We're pleased to have Greg Robinson as a part of Cliopatria.
