Exile is predicated on the existence of, love for, and bound with, one’s native place; what is true of all exile is not that home and love of home are lost, but that loss is inherent in the very existence of both. (Said 1984: 171)
The most pressing issues of our time – poverty, hunger, unemployment, disease (AIDS in particular), the possibility of nuclear war, the movement of refugees, the debt crisis and environmental degradation – in a single swoop have been displaced by the threat of terrorism. The utter centrality of terrorism has meant that priorities have shifted and a ‘new’ politics has emerged based on the belief that imminent terror acts are inevitable. Terrorism now overrides history, politics, law, economics and common sense. It cannot be easily defined or challenged but it has come to have an amorphous capacity whose ramifications are being felt everywhere but especially in cities around the world.
