Nikki’s Notes & Highlights

Book cover for Freedom Is a Constant Struggle: Ferguson, Palestine, and the Foundations of a Movement

Freedom Is a Constant Struggle: Ferguson, Palestine, and the Foundations of a Movement by Angela Y. Davis

20 highlights

Any critical engagement with racism requires us to understand the tyranny of the universal.

“Any situation in which some individuals prevent others from engaging in the process of inquiry is one of violence. The means used are not important; to alienate human beings from their own decision-making is to change them into objects.”
― Paulo Freire, Pedagogy of the Oppressed

“You see, we think individualistically, and we assume that only heroic individuals can make history. That is why we like to focus on Dr. Martin Luther King, who was a great man, but in my opinion his greatness resided precisely in the fact that he learned from a collective movement.”
― Angela Y. Davis

“...in the response of the oppressed to the violence of their oppressors that a gesture of love may be found. Consciously or unconsciously, the act of rebellion by the oppressed (an act which is always, or nearly always, as violent as the initial violence of the oppressors) can initiate love.”
― Paulo Freire

“I laughed. “What the fuck is Goodreads?”
― Rufi Thorpe, Margo's Got Money Troubles

“With the establishment of a relationship of oppression, violence has already begun. Never in history has violence been initiated by the oppressed. How could they be the initiators, if they themselves are the result of violence? How could they be the sponsors of something whose objective inauguration called forth their existence as oppressed? There would be no oppressed had there been no prior situation of violence to establish their subjugation.”
― Paulo Freire, Pedagogy of the Oppressed
