Here's an e-mail I received from DQ reader Chris Sharp:Here's a good long round-up of Sacha Baron Cohen's career, including this snippet -
The Times wrote a piece entitled "Ali G Creator is in fact Leading Civil Rights Scholar," which examined how Baron Cohen made a pilgrimage to the birthplace of Martin Luther King while doing research for his dissertation in Cambridge. Entitled " A Case of Mistaking Identities – the Jewish Black Alliance," the thesis examines the nature of cooperation between the African-American and Jewish communities and suggests ways of how to improve relations in the current day. His professor describes it as a major work of importance on the civil rights movement and is suggested reading for history students in Cambridge.
I've hunted for the relevant article and his dissertation online, but can't seem to find them anywhere.
That's a pretty remarkable find. If any of you guys have seen this article or run across it online, please send me the link and I'll post it for everyone.
