Wesleyan professors’ books reviewed in NYT

The New York Times is good for more than telling us how rich Yale is. As Ashik Siddique ’10 noticed, the Times also reviewed two books by Wesleyan professors this weekend.

Chair of the Film Department Jeanine Basinger‘s recent book The Star Machine appeared twice this weekend:

• Hot Properties
• When the Studios Called the Shots, and the Close-Ups

Also, an article called Cartoon Villains reviewed Islamophobia: Making Muslims the Enemy, by Professor of Religion Peter Gottschalk and Wes alumnus Gabriel Greenberg (see right).

While checking out these reviews for myself, I also came across the Times‘ Education Life section. I haven’t read any of it yet, but it looks interesting and has features on campus protests, summer internships, and S.D.S..
