Jamaica Kincaid
“I only now understand why it is that people lie about their past, why they say they are one thing other than the thing they really are, why they invent a self that bears no resemblance to who they really are, why anyone would want to feel as if he or she belongs to nothing, comes from no one, just fell out of the sky, whole.”
Jamaica Kincaid, My Brother

Michelle Alexander
“The Supreme Court has now closed the courthouse doors to claims of racial bias at every stage of the criminal justice process, from stops and searches to plea bargaining and sentencing. The system of mass incarceration is now, for all practical purposes, thoroughly immunized from claims of racial bias.”
Michelle Alexander, The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness

Karl Marx
“It is a pure tautology to say that crises are provoked by a lack of effective demand or effective consumption. The capitalist system does not recognize any forms of consumer other than those who can pay, if we exclude the consumption of paupers and swindlers. The fact that commodities are unsaleable means no more than that no effective buyers have been found for them, i.e. no consumers (no matter whether the commodities are ultimately sold to meet the needs of productive or individual consumption).”
Karl Marx, Capital: Critique of Political Economy, Vol 2

Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o
“This land used to yield. Rains used not to fail. What happened?’ inquired Ruoro. It was Muturi who answered. ‘You forget that in those days the land was not for buying. It was for use. It was also plenty, you need not have beaten one yard over and over again.”
Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o, Petals of Blood

Madawi AlRasheed مضاوي الرشيد
“Like most people who live on the edge, she spoke with two accents, neither authentic.”
Madawi Al-Rasheed, A Most Masculine State: Gender, Politics and Religion in Saudi Arabia
