No one gave them an English test before they sent them to Iraq to fight for America. View quote

Before Binti, the biggest example of this is in Who Fears Death when Onyesonwu must face the decision of whether or not to go through a ceremony that required cutting off her clitoris.

It's not shocking to me at all, coming from the culture that I come from where the individual is often secondary to the community... View quote
