War Talk (38154) Arundhati Roy

The eloquence, passion, and political insight of Arundhati Roy's political essays have added legions of readers to those already familiar with her Booker Prizewinning novel, The God of Small Things. Roy's new essay collection, War Talk, highlights the global rise of militarism and religious and racial violence. Against the backdrop of nuclear brinkmanship between India and Pakistan, horrific massacre of Muslims in Gujarat, and U.S. demands for an ever-expanding war on terror, she calls into question the equation of nation and ethnicity.
