Quotes by Ziauddin Sardar  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Dignity is not located in seeking equality with the white man and his civilization: it is not about assuming the attitudes of the master who has allowed his slaves to eat at his table. It is about being oneself with all the multiplicities, systems and contradictions of one's way of being, doing and knowing. It is about being true to one's Self.”
Ziauddin Sardar, Black Skin, White Masks

“A moral compass does not cease to function because one's surroundings are new and strange, or else it is no compass at all.”
Ziauddin Sardar, Mecca: The Sacred City

“Basing his work on F.R. Leavis’s (1895–1978) ideas on literary criticism, Hoggart argued that a critical reading of art could reveal “the felt quality of life” of a society. Only art could recreate life in all its rich complexity and diversity.”
