These are improvisations: neither a manifesto nor a treatise because life is too complicated for either. Yet, I'm improvising as an Arab--Palestinian-- woman with a progressive point of view always under construction. Since I often find myself caught between anti-Arab racism and arab reactionary politics, both of which threaten to gag me, I'm raising my voice against both, hoping in the process to contribute an improvised note to a progressive Arab blogosphere.

Cheers to filmmaker Buthina Canaan Khoury for the courage to document the stories of these women. The voices of men and women who see no honor in murdering our sisters, wives, daughters and nieces must speak out loudly against sororicide.

Hi Kinzi,
Been busy and a bit sick. But I'm better now on both counts. Thanks for asking!
You were missed, and I'm glad you're feeling better. And back to blogging :)
