>>Tony Judt is Erich Maria Remarque Professor of European Studies, Professor

>>York University. Over the last years, Judt has emerged as one of the most
>>trenchant analysts of global politics. His many widely read books, among
>>them A Grand Illusion: An Essay on Europe (1996) and The Politics of
>>Retribution in Europe (2000), have set a new standard for the writing of
>>politically informed history. Beyond this prolific output, Judt has earned
>>admiration for his frequent contributions to The New York Review of Books
>>which have established his reputation as a political commentator of
>>immense sophistication and unparalleled erudition.
>>
>>Mark Lilla is Professor in the Committee of Social Thought, University of
>>Chicago. Another frequent contributor to The New York Review of Books,
>>Lilla is a genuine public intellectual. The former editor of The Public
>>Interest and contributing editor to Partisan Review, he is a political
>>philosopher with the rare ability to bring to bear deep knowledge of the
>>Western intellectual tradition on the pressing political questions of the
>>day. Among his many influential books are The Reckless Mind: Intellectuals
>>in Politics (2001) and The Legacy of Isaiah Berlin (2001).
>>
>>Ania Loomba is Catherine Bryson Professor of English, The University of
>>Pennsylvania. Loomba is among the leading postcolonial theorist working
>>today. A Shakespearean literary critic by training, her publications span
>>an immense range, from close readings of Elizabethan theater to complex
>>analyses of the new world order. She is the author of
>>Colonialism/Postcolonialism (1998), one of the most widely influential
>>books on the subject, as well as Shakespeare, Race, and Colonialism (2002)
>>and Postcolonial Studies and Beyond (forthcoming), among many others.
