We spend the hour hearing a speech by award-winning author Arundhati Roy
addressing a packed audience at Riverside Church in Harlem as “a slave who
presumes to criticize her king.” <A HREF="http://www.cesr.org/Roy/royspeech.htm">Click here to read to full transcript</A>Today we spend
the hour with famed Indian author and activist Arundhati Roy. Roy was born in
Shillong, India in 1959. She studied architecture in New Delhi, where she now
lives, and has worked as a film designer, actor, and screenplay writer in
India. Her first novel, The God of Small Things, won the 1997 Booker Prize, Britain
’s most prestigious literary award. It has sold six million copies and has
been translated into over 20 languages worldwide. She has also written three
non-fiction books: The Cost of Living, Power Politics and her newest book War
Talk, a collection of essays analyzing issues of war and peace, democracy and
dissent, racism and empire. Soon after the war in Iraq was officially declared
over, Arundhati Roy addressed a packed audience at the Riverside Church in
Harlem, New York on May 13th, 2003 as “a slave who presumes to criticize her king.”
She spoke out against the invasion and occupation of Iraq, from the same
pulpit where the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King spoke out against the invasion of
Vietnam over three decades ago. Arundhati Roy named the speech, “Instant-Mix
Imperial Democracy, Buy One Get One Free.” The speech was sponsored by the Center
for Economic and Social Rights and the Lannan Foundation where she received
the 2002 Prize for Cultural Freedom.
Arundhati Roy, acclaimed Indian author and activist, speaking at Riverside
