There seems to be no way to mix politics and art and wind up with anything but a propaganda of stereotypes. There is a saying that military intelligence is to intelligence as military music is to music. The same might be said of politicized art. Like military music, it is crude, strident, and without subtlety of feeling. Even so, the piece reviewed here sounds better than most in at least addressing both sides with some sympathy.
