On Borders, Globalization, and Terror: A Picture from Beirut When I decided to go to Beirut early last month to give a talk titled "Beauty Without Borders and Other Feminisms" at the American University of Beirut, the subject of my talk seemed both appropriate and ironic. Like most postcolonialists I had an intense suspicion of the buzzwords of globalization -- global flows, borderlesness, circulation, smooth spaces, migrancy and transnationalism -- because they ignored unequal distribution, the starkly imperial makeup of global financial institutions like the IMF and WTO, and the hegemony of the U.S. post 9/11.

On Borders, Globalization, and Terror: A Picture from Beirut

When I decided to go to Beirut early last month to give a talk titled "Beauty Without Borders and Other Feminisms" at the American University of Beirut, the subject of my talk seemed both appropriate and ironic.
