Arundhati Roy - Do Turkeys love Thanksgiving mp3

This is a short speech (5:32 min) from the talk Arundahti Roy gave at the World Social Forum called Do Turkeys Love Thanksgiving. The speech addresses what Roy calls New Imperialism and New Racisms. The speech uses the allegory of Turkey Pardoning, a yearly ritual in the United States where the President pardons a Turkey (thus saving its life) but eats another. Roy eloquently uses the allegory to show how New Racism and New imperialism work and how they are different than their respective outdated counterparts.
