I f there is one thing that is not universal, it is the enjoyment of the material benefits of modernism. The postmodernists tend to confuse materialism (which is rampant) with material well-being (which is not). The liberating riches of postindustrial development have not entirely found their way into pockets of poverty in Anacostia, Bedford-Stuyvesant, or South Central Los Angeles. People in such enclaves are still struggling to capture a piece of modernity. If we identified with them instead of reflecting on reflecting, we would be reflecting on what can be done to help poor people lead safer and more secure lives
