Daniel Immerwahr
“At various times, inhabitants of the U.S. Empire have been shot, shelled, starved, interned, dispossessed, tortured, and experimented on. What they haven't been, by and large, is seen.”
Daniel Immerwahr, How to Hide an Empire: A History of the Greater United States

Matthew Desmond
“Every condition exists,” Martin Luther King Jr. once wrote, “simply because someone profits by its existence. This economic exploitation is crystallized in the slum.” Exploitation. Now, there’s a word that has been scrubbed out of the poverty debate.”
Matthew Desmond, Evicted: Poverty and Profit in the American City

Daniel Immerwahr
“English has spread like an invasive weed, implanting itself in nearly every habitat. It has created a world full of people ready and able to assist English speakers, wherever they may roam. A world almost designed for the convenience of the United States.”
Daniel Immerwahr, How to Hide an Empire: A History of the Greater United States

Édouard Glissant
“Generalization is totalitarian . . . . Either the other is assimilated, or else it is annihilated. That is the whole principle of generaliza-tion and its entire process.”
Édouard Glissant

Maria Ressa
“If you're lucky, you realize early on that each decision you make answers a question that all of us muddle through: how to build meaning in our lives. Meaning is not something you stumble across or what someone gives you; you build it through every choice you make, the commitments you choose, the people you love, and the values you hold dear.”
Maria Ressa, How to Stand Up to a Dictator
