In this acclaimed Lannan foundation lecture from September 2002,
Roy speaks poetically to power on the US' War on Terror,
globalization, the misuses of nationalism, and the growing chasm
between the rich and poor. With lyricism and passion, Roy combines
her literary talents and encyclopedic knowledge to expose injustice
and provide hope for a future world.
""Flags are bits of colored cloth that governments use first to
shrink-wrap people's brains and then as ceremonial shrouds to bury
the dead.""--From the CD
