I am an eternal Third Worldist, living in my adopted country, with a hole in my heart. I divide my time between the rifts and juxtapositions posed by the great cultural divide. While I enjoy the blessings of life in the US, I wonder about the tragedy of errors and missed opportunities in the Muslim world.
Random Thoughts: From the shadow of the prehistoric world emerge dying religions that have not yet invented gods or goddesses but live by the mystery of the elemental powers of the universe, by the complex vitalities of what we feebly call nature. (D. H. Lawrence in Etruscan Places)
Favorite Reading: Orientalism, The Wretched of the Earth; Subaltern Studies
Favorite Writers: Edward Said, Sara Sulehri, Gayatri Spivak
