First sentence: IN THE AUTUMN OF 1993 I was living in Berkeley, California, where I was putting the finishing touches to my Ph.D. dissertation, which was later published as Scattered Belongings: Cultural Paradoxes of 'Race', Nation and Gender (Ifekwunigwe 1999). Late one evening, I made my usual run to the local 7-11 convenience store for a fix of a vice I had acquired while writing: forty-four ounces of a healthy cocktail of aspartame-laced diet sodas - caffeine-free Diet Coke, Diet Coke, Diet Pepsi.
