Subject: a quote to chew on?




" The attempt to create a pure, enclosed third world unsullied by 
contacts with the west is riven by all sorts of contradictions, not the 
least because the circuits of scholarly exchange encourage, even ensure, 
via all sorts of material and other rewards, the constant traffic of 
intelligentsia from the subcontinent and/or the third world to the 
metropole."

"....`representativeness' is itself an elaborate construction, because a 
given people's relationship to what they construe as their nation is 
always diverse; ... forms of national belonging are always multiple, 
never singular."

- Anuradha Dingwaney Needham -"Fictions of National Belonging" - From 
"Socialist Review" 94/4
