Summary of Action: Reesie Otulana, nine, from Cambria Heights, Queens, New York, and Miss Pushpa T. S., nineteen, of Laburnum Buildings, Hanuman Vihar, Bombay, are hardly soul sisters. They come from vastly different cultural backgrounds: their social worlds are equally strange to one another.

Reesie may well turn out to be "Baad!" in the nonstandard, "black English" sense of the word. Miss Pushpa, on the other hand, is undeniably good. As a clerical cog in the archaic wheel of Bombay's Byzantine bureaucracy, her "low" economic status has kept her from an improving, Westernized "convent" education. Her cute and creaky English has been picked up at a deeply disciplinary state school through the rote repetition of cliches, commonplace idioms, and readings out of Victorian-style "self-help" primers. Infantalized and exploited both at home and work, she is poised to escape this pervasive patriarchy, to better her prospects, by being "diasporized," going "to foreign" where, as a Non-Resident Indian in the United States or the Gulf States, she will, of course, be the good daughter and continue obediently to support her family back home. Miss Pushpa T. S. Is "internal sweetness itself!" in Bombay Bazaar English - as the poet says, "Pushpa Miss is never saying no."
Reesie (as we have been repeatedly reminded by the ethnographers of Ebonics) is the descendant of West African slaves, suspended in the lower depths of urban American society. She is in danger of becoming just another percentage point in a deadening survey of the growing body of semi-literate and underemployed youth that come out of underfunded public schools located in areas of economic attrition. ("One half of all African-American youth are born into poverty": Jesse Jackson, The New York Times, Dec. 31, 1996; "71 percent of Oakland's 28,000 blacks are in special education classes. . . [the] average grade point-, on a 4.0 system is 1.8": Courtland Milloy, Washington Post, Dec. 22, 1996.)

It used to be "Go West Young Ones, Go West ..." and many did to find better conditions. Now it seems we are urged to "Go East." We displaced MooPig Employees are aggregated to sit where we are and wait for the flood.Hoes for $20, sheeesh, I can get that same Ho for $5.
