Maybe some of us do have reasons for making the political personal. Sam "I'm not sure I'm comfortable with being labeled a US-basher. Actually it's a problem I struggle with in my current work analyzing diplomatic history at the turn of the century, particularly because of the role US policies play in development theory today. Am I naive in believing that an analysis of ideological hegemony can be valued for its contribution to critical discourse without being contentiously polemical? I'm not interested in burning the flag. I'm interested in uncovering those unequal power relations and in leveling the playing field. Pat" --- from list postcolonial-AT-lists.village.virginia.edu ---
