    The "standing room" is about Nick and the Marthas having to stand: Offred kneels ("I don't sit, but take my place, kneeling..."). The comments made on the oppression should be directed towards the orderly fashion everyone is subjected to not just Offred

    Stumbled on another Vivek lecture which surprised me by its cultural explanation of the defeat of the socialist momentum of the anti-colonial struggle… it’s apparently the Black and Brown academics seeking career prospects responsible for the weakness of Marxist politics!!! Whatever happened to the materialist analysis!!!

    Wonderful lecture, the speaker begins and ends with affirmative quotations of Franz Fanon in making an appeal to a return to Solidarity, as apposed to the contemporary currents of identitarian reduction.

    These arguments were old and completely discredited 50-60 years ago. He's deliberately ignoring the very real issues that are unique to the many groups he says should assimilate. Assimilation has been proven to be a form of identity death. The answer to this was multiculturalism. These identities he complains of were chosen by the groups involved. They were not forced onto people. His argument is weak as he flounders during his talk and during his answers during question time. Allowing people to be themselves does not weaken a society, it makes it more cohesive. I think he's actually advocating a monocultural England and perhaps advocating a very strict immigration policy that excludes migrants who are not the same as white Britons. He wants to go backward to some mythical golden age. If this past golden age was brought back, there would be no place for him in it. Question: in his world do brown people fit into England and English society?

    Who is speaking of assimilation? You’re confusing identity with identity politics.. It is fine for groups to maintain their identity and have their own demands.. The main cohesive framework within a multicultural society still needs to be more universalist than identitarian. Were much better off with an anti racism that sees everyone as “bleeding red”: we’re all essentially the same and have more in common than we think, than with an anti racism that sees groups as static oppressors and victims.. The first is a formula for coalition building and unity. The second is the formula for war and violence, or at the least “divorce”.

    Said takes a lot of flak for Orientalism (some of it justified) but he was and is so much more than just one book. You get the sense that the essence of Said is some form of democratic humanism. Given what is going on in the world today any form of humanism would be welcome.

    In 1978, the Palestinian-American professor Edward Wadie Saïd published Orientalism, in which he studied the West’s conception of the Orient World and criticized modern imperialism. Orientalism is a masterpiece that contributed to the development of postcolonial studies. Just made this animated video about this book. Enjoy it! kzread.info/dash/bejne/h4Zms7Fumbi1aaQ.html
