64. Build Peace: Arundhati Roy Mentions Liz Too! arundhati roy mentions Liz too! From and email forwarded to me 12 April 2007 Yesterday I drove up from my Mom s house in Tidewater Virginia to Washington http://buildpeace.blogspot.com/2007/04/arundhati-roy-mentions-liz-too.html

Build Peace Information of every type gleaned from sources everywhere by a rowdy and ribald woman researcher and writer. Everything related to peace in any way is fair game and no attempt is made to have this be a journalistic (at least not in the corporate media sense) endeavor. I'm biased. I'm progressive. I'm female. Live with it. Wednesday, April 18, 2007 Arundhati Roy mentions Liz too! From and email forwarded to me: "12 April 2007 Yesterday I drove up from my Mom's house in Tidewater Virginia to Washington to work with Code Pink for Peace. I've lived outside the US for the majority of the last 15 years, watching from afar; for the last five years (since Sept 11), I've been angry, depressed, stressed, anxious, and sad. My energy level dropped, I found it hard to get out of bed mornings, and my only passion came from ranting in chatrooms about how the US was fucking up the world and why weren't lazy, complacent US people doing something about that war criminal, election thief, George Bush. So by the time Jodie called and asked me to come up and work with Code Pink on this action, I was about halfway to the level of angst and complacency that has affected so many people in this country. Getting stuck on I95 50 miles outside of Washington for four hours because of an accident did nothing to create a sense of optimism and hope. By the time I got to Falls Church it was 8:30 pm. Having been in the car since 2:30, I decided to treat myself to a frappicino at Starbucks and ask directions into Washington.

Years The God of Small Things A novel by Arundhati Roy Awards The Booker Prize by Arundhati Roy The literary phenomenon of the year, again. More magical than Mistry, more of a rollicking good read than Rushdie, more nerve-tinglingly imagined than Naipaul, here, perhaps, is the greatest Indian novel by a woman. Arundhati Roy has written an astonishingly rich, fertile novel, teeming with life, colour, heart-stopping language, wry comedy and a hint of magical realism. Set against a background of political turbulence in Kerala, Southern India, The God of Small Things tells the story of twins Esthappen and Rahel. Amongst the vats of banana jam and heaps of peppercorns in their grandmother's factory, they try to craft a childhood for themselves amidst what constitutes their family - their lonely, lovely mother, their beloved Uncle Chacko (pickle baron, radical Marxist and bottom-pincher) and their avowed enemy Baby Kochamma (ex-nun and incumbent grand-aunt).

Communism in India Literature and the Communist Movement in India Having a general understanding of the communist movement in India is incredibly important in fully comprehending and appreciating several postcolonial novels, such as Arundhati Roy's The God of Small Things and Salman Rushdie's The Moor's Last Sigh Along with the politics, it is also important to recognize how notions of nationalism, the caste system , and violence played a role in the birth and subsequent failure of the communist movement. Kerala, the province of India discussed in both these novels is another important topic; the movement there affects social and political life even today in 1997. The Founding of the Communist Party of India The Communist Party of India was founded in the 1920s to create an alternative mass movement to the existing Congress anti-imperialist movement. The communist movement grew out of economic causes and was rooted against the propertied classes whether British or Indian. The "revolt" was not against the colonial government and the ruling Congress Party as much as it was against the capitalist system. As far as communist parties world-wide were concerned the Communist Party of India, the CPI, was too conservative and ineffective. Split of the CPI and Formation of the CPI(M) Due to its rather passive manner, in 1964 the CPI split, thereby forming a second faction known as the CPI(M)-the Communist Party of India (Marxists). The CPI(M) called for a large scale revolt of workers. These people, mostly members of the lower castes and agricultural workers, were negatively affected by the elites trying to gain national power through capitalism by increasing India's industrial strength. The other group hurt by capitalism were the landlords and peasants with the breakdown of feudal society.

Bios Arundhati Roy b. 1961 Jump to: Biography and Criticism Selected Bibliography Related Links Contributor(s) Biography - Criticism Arundhati Roy was born on November 24, 1961, in Shillong Meghalaya, in Bengal, North Eastern India. Her father was a Hindu tea planter, and her mother was a Christian teacher and social activist. Roy began her education at "Corpus Christi," a school founded by her mother in Aymanam, India. This school was very informal. As a result, Roy developed a way of thinking and writing that differed from those educated at more formal schools. In other words, Roy learned to think for herself. From the beginning of her education, Roy wanted to be a writer. It was her childhood dream. She demonstrated her independence at the early age of sixteen, leaving her home to live on her own in a small hut with a tin roof. She survived for seven years by selling empty beer bottles for income. She observed the effects of Christianity, Marxism, Hinduism, and Islam in India, which shaped her attitudes and beliefs. Eventually she grew tired of this poverty-stricken life and decided to enter the Delhi School of Architecture. There, she met her first husband, Gerard Da Cunha. While they were married the couple decided to put their degrees aside and do something simple. The two embarked to Goa on the coast of India where they made and sold cakes to tourists for seven months. But Arundhati lost interest in this lifestyle, ending their marriage within four years.

Swans Arundhati Roy's War Talk Book Review by Gilles d'Aymery July 21, 2003 Roy, Arundhati, War Talk, South End Press, Cambridge, MA, 2003 - ISBN 0-89608-724-7 (Paper), 142 p. Supporting our local businesses is sort of a civic duty in this household. A week or so after having received a review copy of Ms. Roy's short collection of essays, War Talk, we made one of our customary visits to Kepler's, our wonderful local bookstore in Menlo Park, CA. There, on a five-foot square table dedicated to "Current Events," laid some 50 different works, each neatly piled in small bundles of a few copies, a majority of which was about war and US power. War sells. War is money and not just for the military-industrial complex. It trickles down the pipeline toward Hollywood, all the way to book publishers and authors. Enticing titles competed for the buyers' attention. Chris Hedges' War Is a Force That Gives Us Meaning, with his subliminal machismo, was selling briskly, we were told. The Los Angeles Times' reviewer went as far as to say it was a "bitterly poetic and ruthlessly philosophical [work]" No wonder, it sells! So was Ann Coulter's latest diatribe against the Liberals
