And it was Raisuddin, despite being a newcomer, despite being attacked, despite being homeless and traumatized, who belonged to that republic of dreams and Stroman who belonged to that  other wounded country, despite being born with the privilege of a native white man.
E era Raisuddin, apesar de ser um recém-chegado, apesar de ter sido agredido, apesar de ter ficado na rua e traumatizado, que pertencia àquela república de sonhos E Stroman pertencia àquele outro país ferido, apesar de ter nascido com o privilégio de ser um homem branco nativo.
