Written
during the Gulf War One, the piece Sahara Dust looks at a contracting
and increasingly chaotic world, where people can wake up to find Sahara
dust (rain bearing particles of sand from the Sahara desert) on their
doorstep and see distant conflicts on their televisions. «This
is not a time to undervalue the despair and infinite hope of small private,
day to day things; we can trace the vein of a leaf or fly over vast
landscapes, but what we carry with us depends on our entire personal
history,» writes Lindsay Cooper.
