idag var jeg på et fordrag om nord/sør-diskursen i Italia

http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Questione_meridionale
og så trakk jeg en linje til diskursen om orientlismen ( da særlig Edward Said sin bok):
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orientalism
Så begynte jeg å tenke på hvordan vi har behandlet samene opp igjennom tidene (ikke bra...fy oss...):

or in english:

og så kom jeg til å tenke på en sang av en av mine heltinner, nemlig ho Mari... her er et intervju med henne, in english:

Og her er noe hun sier før sangen på remix cdn....:
“I wrote this song after I saw a televisionprogram from South-Africa,
some years back. There was a man.. there was this white man.. He
was so upset because of the changes that were coming to his country.
He was upset because the once who were allied under him were not
supposed to be his equals. I felt sorry for the man, so I wrote him a song.
Cause I thought it must be hard, when you knew your whole life, you
heard, you learned, you belived - that some people are over other people,
some people have more value than other people, and then the world
changes, and you have to realise - we are all the same. It must be hard„
Mari Boine - Mun Da Han Lean Oaivamus / Men det er jo jeg som rår (fra cdn "Leahkastin (Unfolding)" som jeg syns er veldig fin og absolutt verdt pengene... musikk som rører sjelen.
