I find this piece quite interesting because it foregrounds what Comparative Literature suggests should be the goal of multicultural scholarship.
That goal is not easy and in the context of contempieary capitalistic oriented scholarship the lazier easy option is favoured because of the astronomical cost of achieving the goal ( students need to keep registering and paying for language acquisition courses until mastery.) So expediency takes over from thoroughness.
I also found illuminating the author's emphasis on the word ' believe' from the stand point of the Yoruba cognate for that word. Its quite not the same as the English equivalent.
