Amartya Sen

I am reading this book called Pathologies of Power that was written by Paul Farmer: It,s very interesting because it discusses the institutionalization of intense poverty and epidemiology in Haiti; Peru; and Russia: The subject is really engaging; but the author is beautiful with language: When I was in Paris I stepped into a bookstore which just happened to be English; there I found a book by Amartya Sen; the author of the foreward to Dr: Farmer,s work: I bought it because I have been wondering since I left Morocco about the division between Christians and Muslims: The focus of the Sen book is on large groups of people; but it discusses ways we identify ourselves as groups; which often has the effect of bringing about violence to those not identified in the same way: What is significant about his theory is that it;s not how we identify ourselves that is important ; what is important is the prioritization we give those identities: I, m not doing the subject justice so I would advise reading the book: Its called Violence and the illusion of Destiny:
