Men Historical Rivals
Dare i speak ,to oppressed and opressor in the same voice? dare i speak to you in a language that will move beyond the boundaries of domination- a language, that will not bind you, fence you in, or hold you? language is also a place of struggle. the oppressed struggle in language to recover ourselves, to reconcile, to reunite, to renew. our words are not without meaning, they are an action, a resistance. language is also a place of struggle.

I have a funny relationship to language. when i came to california when i was three i spoke urdu fluently and i didn't speak a word of english. within a few months i lost all my urdu and spoke only english and then i learned urdu all over again when i was nine. urdu is my first language but it's not as good as my english and it's sort of become my third language. english is my best language but was the second language i learned.

We switch to another language-- not our invented language or the language we've learned from our lives. as we walk further up the mountain, we speak the language of silence. this language gives us time to think and move. we can be here and elsewhere at the same time.
