16. Jain Hill, Big Argument About Cultural Responsibility (9.8.2008)

An exten­sive rant on West­ern expec­ta­tions and gen­der norms prompted by a faux pau in a reli­gious place–a gaff, at least, as per­ceived by our Amer­i­can com­rades. But what about the vil­lagers? Hmm? What about them?

20. Fury (11.12.2008)

While con­sumed with research for my ethno­graphic paper (Which is online. And posted under “ethnog­ra­phy.”), I didn’t have much time for reflec­tion in my jour­nal. How­ever, after the state elec­tions, I was enraged by the pass­ing of Propo­si­tion 8. Though I con­tem­plated buy­ing a rifle and learn­ing to use it, or threat­en­ing some sen­a­tors and oth­ers, I wrote this thought­ful rant instead.
