“Although I believe identity politics '"produces limited but real empowerment for its participants," it is important to note that it contains significant problems: first, its essentialist tendency; second, its fixed _we-they_ binary position; third, its homogenization of diverse social oppression; fourth, its simplification of the complexity and paradox of being privileged and unprivileged; and fifth its ruling out of intersectional space of diverse forms of oppression in reality.”

“Philosophy of Bread
To Lenin and Iqbal:
The East treats me as a second class citizen, the West as a third class citizen still,
life is mired in fees, rents and unending bills.
New century’s children keep on breeding, farms get smaller and farmers poorer, it’s the bankruptcy mills,
bread lines get longer, the pestilence kills
whilst the few eat money and honey,
And God laughs at the future.”
