Saved by Their Enemies

The Houthis owe their rise less to Tehran than to their foes, from former President Saleh’s shifting allegiances and the Saudi-Emirati rift to a Western response that has normalized the Red Sea threat.

"Words have been shown as inadequate against the military might of Israel, buttressed by the most powerful countries in the world. We are all impotent witnesses, unable to prevent the atrocities we have been watching for almost 22 long and cruel months. What use are more words? And is it really my place to be the amanuensis of Palestinians?"

"People can start to think and feel differently about who bears which costs of our common life when they take the chance of telling and listening to stories of different immigrant groups — together. This makes it possible to sense the profound resonances between, for instance, Greek and Mexican immigrant experiences as well as the jarring ways that such experiences are 'really different.'"

"In literature, there is an unquestioned acceptance of a cultural dominance that is situated in the east, whether formerly in Baghdad or Damascus, or more currently in Cairo, Beirut and increasingly in the Gulf. While Arabic-language literature from the Maghreb does travel east, writers from sub-Saharan Africa feel they are overlooked in the Middle East."
