i shall be there. i hope to meet some of the writers and organisers and in particular nadifa mohamed. i want to put nadifa mohamed to the litmus test and figure out whether all somali women with some semblance of logic think themselves superior to their somali men lol.

lol@NG,

 

have you no xishood for goodness sakes. of course, all somali men. i read her book and felt that she externalised her somaliness noo, you know the 'i'm a somali from a distance, but i have no issues grotesquely caricaturing and exaggerating the somali experiences for western audiences'. i think k'naan can also be accused of this too. these fools have sold out and should be excommunicated and asked to leave noo. we need more authenticity and locally sourced and produced talent. what is 'real' and what is 'fiction' baal, these are questions i grapple with on a daily basis - not becos i care as my own values are shifting but rather becos it an ordained duty i have to fulfill, in my capacity, as a conscious cultural critic and an ethical hedonist. i wonder if i'll be given a seat on the panel and be allowed to express my opinion?

K'naan might her slipped here and there but I have not seen anything in Nadifa's book that looks like the stuff you describe. War gabadha miyaad caashaqday? The pitfalls of celebrity, eh?
