Country Quotes by Annia Ciezadlo

Annia Ciezadlo

One of the unspoken themes that I’m grappling with in Day of Honey is the relationship between violence and cosmopolitanism. It’s one thing to comprehend violence as an outgrowth of ignorance, poverty, and backwardness. It’s another matter entirely to confront incredible atrocities in a country with a rich civic and intellectual life.

Rulers like Egypt’s Gamal Abdel Nasser started subsidizing bread as a way to buy loyalty, or at least obedience, and this system became so pervasive that the Tunisian scholar Larbi Sadiki described countries who used it as dimuqratiyyat al-khubz – “democracies of bread.” But the problem with this system of offering bread in exchange for genuine democracy is that it can never last – sooner or later, the bread will run out, and people will start demanding bread and roses too.
