Context

The post-9/11 American imposition upon the world has been driven by fear of the other.

War in Context endeavors to get past perceptions of otherness by looking at the intricacy with which this world is woven together.

For the last decade, in a reflection of the times, war has been the dominant theme of this site. As we enter a new decade, the times might not be changing but the theme here will change — more context, less war.

The human world is made of language.

Context — the weaving together of words — reveals the relationships that thread everything together.

Everything.

Show me something that has nothing to do with anything else…

No such thing exists.

As War in Context shifts, you might be surprised at what appears here — on language, music, culture, geography, biology, psychology, religion, and the environment. Hopefully it will always interesting.
