  • Description: Laced
  • Material: Leather
  • Sole: Rubber
This collection of pieces is arranged using a series of 12 repeated questions, such as "How will you begin?" "Describe a morning you woke without feat?" and "Who was responsible for the suffering of your mother?" The manuscript is set in diverse places - Punjab, Afghanistan, Central America, England, Arizona - where the meditations on the 'interrogations' considered by the narrator are described in language that is segmented and seeking.

These short pieces reveal new ways of belonging in the world and possibilities for an art grounded in a 'localized' cosmopolitan culture.“These days, we do not lack information about other societies and countries” writes Eva Hoffman, in her introduction to this illuminating collection of essays. But why, we must ask, does this unprececedented level of knowledge not translate into greater! understanding?

Spurning the sound byte, glossy guide or shallow schematic, an international group of thinkers and writers set out on a much more vital journey leading us through the Innner Lives of Cultures. In these 10 revealing essays about Brazil, China, Egypt, India, Indonesia, Iran, Mexico, Romania, Russia and Uzbekistan, we enter, through empathy and imagination ‘into the subjective life of another culture â€" its symbolic codes, its overt beliefs and implicit assumptions’.

Often, they suggest, it is the experience of emmigration or displacment which is the key: it reveals most sharply to us not only how culture shapes our human enviroment but also the inner landscapes of the self which perceives it.
In an opening essay, ‘Barbarism, Civilisation, Cultures’, Tzvetan Todorov, argues forcefully that without this much-prized knowledge of what ‘culture’ is, we may increasingly fail to become what he calls “a civilised person: one! who is able, at all times and in all places, to recognise the! humanit y of others fully”. This is an urgent and indispensible book for our world now.
