"our people are our mountains"

Amilcar Cabral sounds like such an amazing person

oh, this chapter on the appropriation of Fanon within academic discourse and class-reductionist politics is something I didn't know I needed in my life

talking about playwright Eugene O'Neill's view that "native" revolutions were comic-opera affairs... oof

Plato was a eugenicist?! Dang

I'm so happy that, so long as I stick to one chapter at a time, my fuzzy SAD-brain can still follow along with these arguments!

I was really intimidated before starting this, and there are some parts that do require that I really pay attention, but so far it's been entirely worth it. And I actually like that each chapter is a different piece of writing, I'm finding it really fun to see what comes next!
