In this groundbreaking comparative analysis of the Holy Land pathos (labeled “pernicious mythology” and “messianic extrem- ism”) across national boundaries, Salaita explicates the Manifest Destiny pro- cess of “wresting Edenic land from savages in the name of prophesy and progress” (p. 119).	cache/ajiss-1475.pdf	txt/ajiss-1475.txt
