I only say it to make you feel anxious about the whole WHERE IS MAH CUNTRY thing. Anxiety is better than ennui, sometimes.

How we can connect with feminism's global future |... →
Although I could hardly agree that there is such a thing as “Global feminism” or “developing world feminism”, it is true, and I’ve been saying it for ages, that the developments of feminism in non-Western parts of the world have created several new forms of fighting gender oppression and that the stagnated Western movements should try to learn from these. However they...

En 1941, sous le régime de Vichy, il y eu l’exposition à Paris “Le juif et la France”; en 1940 était tournée en Allemagne nazie un film de propagande antisémite au succès phénoménal, Jud Süss (Le Juif Süss) par Veit Harlan sous la supervision de Joseph Goebbels, distillant avec brio les stéréotypes physiques et moraux...

– Suad Joseph, “Thinking Intentionality: Arab Women’s Subjectivity and Its Discontents,” JMEWS, Spring 2012. (via mllanders)
One of the most absurd arguments coming from people who support the Assad regime is saying that “at least it’s a SECULAR regime”.
Wait, what?! We’re talking about a regime that consolidated its power and “legitimacy” by stressing sectarianism and segmentation of Syrian society. A regime is not secular when it “protects minorities”, but when...

“Love” by Adonis (Ali Ahmad Sa’id)
The road and the house love me

The red jug

Its water in love with it
The neighbor loves me
The field and the threshing floor
The fire
The arms that toll
Happy with the world
or unhappy
the tear my brother shed
hidden by the crop
Anemone that mortifies the blood
I have been here as long as the...

So George Clooney has been arrested outside the Sudanese embassy in Washington. After a week addressing Congress, briefing his president and bringing Sudan back into the limelight, he has taken his awareness-raising campaign to the next level by making sure news crews were on hand to watch him having his hands tied behind his back.
This has been quite the week for African...
