...also known as the World Conference Against Racism or Durban II, was convened in Geneva. The conference was the sequel to the 2001 meeting held in Durban, South Africa, which originally aimed to eliminate racism and xenophobia. Eight years ago, the proceedings rapidly descended into a “hate fest” as Muslim-majority states hijacked the stage as an opportunity to berate Israel and the West. While Durban II was not the same sort of vitriolic, one-sided attack that many had expected, it was nonetheless far from constructive. As such, Durban II simply served...

...depicting personal histories and the intimate—almost palpable—pains of its heroines. Like Euripedes’ play, “Trojan Barbie” draws its poignancy from the intimate. Scenes of warfare and violence are hauntingly relatable because of their extra-temporal nature; these hate crimes are timeless and place-less. “Trojan Barbie” presents an un-reality; for example, the play is set in “modern day Troy,” a fictional extension of an ancient city. The travesty of men aggressively raping women in concentration camps?...
