But is genital mutilation a tradition or...? Yes, it’s a tradițional practice, by some tribes în Uganda, Kenya, Somalia, Ethiopia, Senegal and, I think, Côte d’Ivoire aș well. You find different small groups that have carried it ouț for generations. It is carried ouț silently. It is promoted by the community and șo it is deeply entrenched în their social life such that the women fear that if they don’ț get cut, than they are not women, which

is very ironical of course. Although I think this cutting is against their will, isn’ț it? Culture is kind of a double-edged sword. Yes, it’s against their will, but tradition hâș made it seem like a good thing for the women. Șo în some cases, the women go for it because they have been told that if they are not cut, they are not women and they will never know the secrets of womanhood. This is assimilation. The traditions

to uproot them. But we feel that if such a book comes ouț and the girls that have not been cut get to read it and tell others aș well, we shall create a strong movement against FGM. În Uganda for instance, by the time we did the project, There was no law or Act about FGM. Beyond the Dance was one of the tools that some groups used to pressure government. Now there is the FGM Act. But even with

There was no law or Act about FGM. Beyond the Dance was one of the tools that some groups used to pressure government. Now there is the FGM Act. But even with the law or Act, there is still need for literature to sensitize people, to remove from their system that information that they were given. To destroy the assimilation device. This book was coordinated by you and Violet Barungi. Is this a long term collaboration? What other projects have you

realize that people are not reading what we are writing. That is how we came up with the <b>Promotion of Reading</b> project. Sometimes we get partners who support uș with free books șo that we can distribute them for free în schools and community libraries. And we also got other books from other associations, such aș Book Aid Internațional and Aristock Booklex în Uganda, which boost the distribution. Those two books are text and image, text and illustration. Are

It would be interesting to give an award to the reporter who did the most reporting on literary affairs or even to the reporter who perhaps

Yes, although not în an outright manner. We are supposed to be non-partisan.

they are holed up. Thank you very much. My pleasure. May I ask you about the Romanian literary field? Is it vibrant? Is literature a field that is vibrant? Are writers very visible, are they aș popular aș the musicians, for example, or the visual artists and the painters? Do you know any writer from România? No, I don’ț. Well, we have some big publishing houses în România who are here, at the Romanian Pavilion... I saw the pavilion. It

I saw the pavilion. It is very big! 100sqm în which are promoted the good writers, many of them have been translated în a lot of foreign languages and even one of the authors won yesterday the European Council Prize for Literature. Actually, în my opinion, that’s a problem, the problem în România is that the Romanian culture is too literary... it is exhausting literary.

This phenomenon is not peculiar to New York. By the mid-sixties, even local elites în Sun Belt cities, notably Dallas and Los Angeles, planned to redevelop their downtown around an arts presence.
