The eloquence, passion, and political insight
of Arundhati Roy's political essays have added
legions of readers to those already familiar with her Booker Prizewinning
novel, The God of Small Things.
Roy's new
essay collection, War Talk, highlights the global rise of militarism
and religious and racial violence. Against the backdrop of nuclear
brinkmanship between India and Pakistan, horrific massacre of Muslims in
Gujarat, and U.S. demands for an ever-expanding war on terror, she calls into
question the equation of nation and ethnicity.
