Scott Russell Sanders responded to an essay written by Salman Rushdie, about migration and the benefits of immersing oneself in different cultures, views, and such, going against his points of view. Rushdie said in his essay that being a migrant means being free of nationalism. Sanders argues that people should become inhabitants instead of migrants, and to do that people should root themselves in places and not ideas. Sanders says migrants often bring their visions with them, meaning they might try to change other people’s views with theirs. He uses the example of the Spanish people invading Central and South America and forcing the people there to practice the Spanish religion, political views and other ideas that they brought with them.
