The Old Man and the Sea
Ernest Hemingway
One's internal powers are themselves constituted by a relational and processual unity between one’s body and environment through which they are constituted and maintained. These currently constituted internal powers are also the result of a prior process of the body’s interaction with its environment through which they have developed, and this process is one that goes all the way down.
Prefigurative Politics
Paul Raekstad and Sofia Saio Gradin
There have always been Black women activists... who have had a shared awareness of how their sexual identity combined with their racial identity to make their whole life situation and the focus of their political struggles unique. ... __This focusing upon our own oppression is embodied in the concept of identity politics. We believe that the most profound and potentially most radical politics come directly out of our own identity, as opposed to working to end somebody else's oppression.__ ... We are socialists because we believe that work must be organized for the collective benefit of those who do the work and create the products, and not for the profit of the bosses. ... We are not convinced, however, that a socialist revolution that is not also a feminist and anti-racist revolution will guarantee our liberation. (Combahee River Collective 1977, emphases added)
