@kenanmalik I cited your wonderful recent piece on the spread of postmodernism in my look at its roots & developmenthttps://areomagazine.com/2017/03/27/how-french-intellectuals-ruined-the-west-postmodernism-and-its-impact-explained/comment-page-1/#comment-403 …
So we go all Foucauldian and change the history so it doesn't seem that way?
-
-
we do what Kenan does: we say that it was born in the West, without equating it strictly with the West. Both statements are true
-
And you think I don't do that?
-
I think the title is misleading. but there is little I would change in your piece.
-
You don't think I talk about how postmodernism has damaged the west & explain the origins and key ideas?
-
it think postmodernism is Western and that it has damaged the project of emancipation worldwide (incl. in the West).
-
Why don't you write that piece? I meant what I've said & its not that only any ideas are restricted to the west.
-
I probably should write something. But Helen I just meant to engage with you. I'm sorry you are taking it badly
-
There's simply no point in arguing with me about points I'm not making & don't disagree with you about.

most importantly, we recall the history of those outside the West ( minority to be sure) who saw it as a tool of emancipation
-
That sounds like a different essay and one I'd probably love. This one focuses on postmodernism in the west.
