Leila Ahmed
“Anthropology, it has often been said, served as a handmaid to colonialism. Perhaps it must also be said, that feminism, or the ideas of feminism, served as its other handmaid.”
Leila Ahmed, Women and Gender in Islam

Michael G. Kramer
“The war in Vietnam was little more than an attempt… to keep the people of Indochina ‘in their place and enslaved.”
Michael G. Kramer, The Full Circle for Mick
