I'm looking forward to this Leiden conference Thurs-Fri this week. A wonderful opportunity for comparative reflection on how "politeness" is constructed and deployed in practice at different historical times and places: https://t.co/N9YzCTUtRO

Most games drawing upon the Medieval Middle East (MME) fit into a few archetypes: Arabian Nights; Bazaar trading; the Desert; Crusades.
To acknowledge the obvious: a lot of the original source material for MME in pop culture is racist.
