Border Thinking on the Edges of the West
Drawing on scholarly and life experience on, and over, the historically posited borders between "West" and "East," the work identifies, interrogates, and challenges a particular, enduring, violent inheritance – what it means to cross over a border – from the classical origins of Western political thought. The study has two parts. The first is an effort to work within the Western tradition to demonstrate its foundational and enduring, violent conception of crossing over borders.

They Burn Thistles
This is the story of a bitter war between the poor Turkish peasants of the Taurus Mountains and the Aghas who covet their land. Ali Safa is determined to take possession of the village of Vayvay but its inhabitants will not sell. Then one villager weakens, prepared to part with his land in return for the Agha's best stallion. But this ill-fated deal sets in motion a chain of events which will see the young brigand Slim Memed take up the cause of the poor once again, with dramatic consequences.

This knowledge of these Muslim societies that are tribally organized appears to be images of violence and terrorism that we associate with the Middle East. In David Hart's view all of this represents the grossest possible misrepresentation. He has singled out a small number of films and works of fiction directed and written by both Westerners as well as Muslims. They tend to show tribesmen as one admittedly small but nonetheless striking segment of the overall Middle Eastern Muslim population, in a more favorable light.
