can any susanna clarkeheads help me out😭 I was just favourably saying how i think JS&MN does a very acceptable job of not obfuscating how deeply colonialism & racism was woven into the mentality and daily life of regency era england by using a narrator who is very casually orientalist and racist while the actual events of the story challenge those things buttttt then this scene where a fairy takes a black british character to an unspecified north african country and they just stand there judging arab muslims for a while in a way that feels if anything a lot more like modern sanctimonious atheist islamophobia than regency era colonial islamophobia 😭 and i thought maybe it was going for like "these are just normal people going about their daily life in a normal way but the racist narrator is being orientalist" but i found it pretty hard to support their reading especially when both characters in the scene including a fairy who isn't even aware of the existence of human racism appear to be percieving it the same way................ flopped i daresay
#the ursula k le guin effect💀💀💀#white fantasy author who is generally progressive about race nooooo#nooo white fantasy author not the obvious distaste for arabs/muslims (for they are interchangeable for you) specifically nooooo#anyway even if it was an attempt to portray that it was a bad one#and in this case i think the difference is that as a white british authorit just would be better to be slightly heavy handed about it#than leave someone w the impression you meant it#bc again im not saying you have to spell EVERYTHING out#the whole dance of 'racist narrator yet not racist book' i assume has probably gone over some ppls heads#but this likeee i was scratching my head...#especially because a significant chunk of your readers would not be looking for a critical take in the first place#theyd just be like yep those ArabMuslims. theyre like that!

Their Wrongs, My Rights
In 6th grade ELA class, we had 30 minutes to develop a story that had a plot, rising action, climax, and resolution. Being not very good at coming up with these themes during that age took me ten minutes to start. I finally picked the first animal I saw hanging in the classroom, a monkey. He was my main character. From what I remember, the story goes as so, Mr. Monkey is preparing a party for his friend. All the monkeys help decorate and prepare for the party. Ten minutes on the clock left to wrap up my story. The monkey makes a gift that he is sure will surprise his friend; when his friend opens the box, BOOM! Confetti popped out, and there was a party in the box. A day later, I get called down to the guidance counselor's office. He tells me that he knows this story I wrote because the teacher brought it to his attention. They felt that I was making terroristic threats subliminally. He told me that they do not encourage violence. Mind you I was the only Muslim student in the entire school at the time. I was confused and felt ashamed and guilty again. This time they called home, Sarah talked to me about it. I was scared, but all she said was be careful what you write next time; these people like to pick at us in any way. It didn't matter; I still felt wrong and embarrassed.

23:100 Brian Whitaker "Unspeakable Love" Gay and Lesbian Life in the Middle East.... When I hear middle east, Its always about wars, bombing, oils and refugees but the LGBTQ community in this part of the world is seldom talk about. This book talks about these community in full detail. From personnal experiences of gays and lesbians in the middle east, novels about Arab-Muslim LGBTQ, what the Quran and the Bible says about LGBTQ and the treatment of the LGBTQ in the middle east. I say this books brings information that you would and will not expect happening in this countries to the LGBTQ community. #WhatMakesMeSmile #brianwhitaker #LGBTQ #gay #middleeasternmen #middleeast #arabmuslim #life #choice #arab #muslim #goalto100 #salebookstore #unspeakablelove❤ #unspeakablelove (at Baguio City)
