Thank you so much for the suggestions and concerns expressed by Chris Connery and Rebecca Karl about the special Arif Dirlik issue of China Book Review.
I think Arif Dirlik is respected by academics and officials in China now. I have discussed this special issue with my colleagues. As you said, we hope more scholars will attend the tribute to Prof. Dirlik, but if this special issue is censored or encounters any other issue (or due to timeliness) and can’t be published (of course I can’t guarantee it), I will try my best to arrange for it to be published in the Journal of East Asian Humanities (東亞人文), which is issued in Taiwan. I am the editor-in-chief of this Chinese journal. Prof. Dirlik was one of the advisors of this journal before his death.
Thank you very much.
Best,
