"An Empire study group at Auckland university has just
broken down, after only two meetings of about 12-15
people. Nobody wants to keep discussing the book. The
prose is a big factor, but so is the lack of relevance
to the 'big questions' which participants asked -
about Argentina, about Palestine, about the War of
Terror...people found concepts like 'multitude' and
'Empire' unable to help them to get to grips with the
world in 2002."

Oh yes? Why? Was there a substantial critique? Or was the prose too hard? Or 
was the facilitator in the dark? I can think of a dozen ways to link Empire to 
the subjects you mention...
