Zadie Smith on Appropriation, Male Critics, and How Trump Interests Her Novelistically

Interviewer:
But now we have people here and in England trying to reverse multiculturalism, people who built large parts of their political platforms on that promise.

Zadie Smith:
My husband is from Northern Ireland, which is a completely racially homogeneous place, and was for hundreds of years, and they still managed to find the difference between which way you faced an altar, and then kill each other for at least 600 of those years. I don’t accept the initial premise. Do you see what I mean? If you engage with it, then you’re engaged with the idea that the only peaceful way of life is homogeneity. I think that is historically delusional and inaccurate.
 
haven't seen the play, but the poster are all over the place.

@pete how come you didn't do anything to mark the 10th anniversary of the IHTHF thread? Missed an opportunity there.
