re - verse - orientalism

March 31, 2009

This was a great article! I saw the movie Buddha from Suburbia some time ago and was not aware of how earth shattering it was. The article fascinatingly discusses how our critical thinkers who once had free reign over their words have been questioned, tempered, and censored - but not by publishers but by fear & culture! Also, the article discussed what it means to try and control the future and how weird power practices show up in the strangest of places - born again muslims like born again christians adopt and practice strange interpretations of their holy books indeed!

Kenan Malik talks to Hanif Kureishi about the Rushdie fatwa and why no one would write such a book today
