“I push back against a deeply-entrenched tendency in American culture to label quickly and no longer even examine the labels that were initially stamped on a person. I don't have a problem with any of my "hyphenated" biography - I don't have any problem with that at all. The world would be a better place if our thread of hyphenation were truly embraced beyond mere naming and category.” IfsWorldPersonsProblemWould BeCultureMereTendenciesLabelsCategoriesThreadBiographiesBetter PlaceAmerican Culture Author:Fady Joudah

It's a way of controlling the "other," to label them.” WayMachinesLabelsDedicatedConservatismConsumedReproductionMirroring Author:Fady Joudah
