          <body><![CDATA[Full disclosure here: I generally despise French philosophers, particularly those who emerged after World War II (the exception being some of Foucault's work). I prefer the German philosophical tradition. Anyway, I read Derrida's &quot;Rogues&quot; for a class last semester. It was interesting, but I agree with Chomsky's criticism that this man's rhetoric is highly pretentious. He can be very redundant and he cloaks his fairly simplistic ideas in overly convoluted sentences (at least in &quot;Rogues&quot;). Still, I recommend it as a forward-thinking analysis of democratic societies.]]></body>

The individual stories and descriptions are engaging, while demystifying attitudes of young adults in parts of the Middle East.
