Måske er det svært for en dansker at sætte sig ind i, hvordan det er at få afslag alene på sin afstamning. Hvordan det er kun at blive lukket delvist ind i et samfund, hvor man gerne vil være være. Et samfund, hvor man er, men ikke er alligevel. Altså jeg er til stede i det her samfund, men der er ingen, der ser mig og mine problemer, der er ingen, der vil hjælpe mig. Hvad skal jeg så gøre for, at folk lytter til mig og ser, at jeg er her? Det kan jeg gøre ved at skabe ravage og kaos. Hvis vi skaber kaos nok, så ser resten af Danmark os. Så hører i os og mærker os. Så kan det godt være, vi får dårlig omtale, men i ved, at vi er her, og så længe vi har det dårligt, så har i det også dårligt. For hvis i ser, der er skyderier, at der er vold i gaden, så er det ikke kun vores virkelighed. Det er også jeres virkelighed. ↗
Progress is measured by richness and intensity of experience - by a wider and deeper apprehension of the significance and scope of human existence. ↗
Let me get this straight: You want to poison me nearly to death, put me out to the side of the road and then set me on fire, right?" "...It sounded a lot better when we were out in the mushroom patch." "Those must have been SOME mushrooms!" --Reggie Sinclair and The Witches in Training from Angela's Coven. ↗
She tapped her chest. “No, I’m not a freak, okay, so could you stop pressuring me.” Rafael muttered something under his breath, throwing up his hands in surrender. “So what am I? What’s Karhl, Jayani, my brother, and all the BaSatai? Are we all freaks? Just because this human has some kind of fascination with labeling you, you believe in it. Be your own person, Armani, not what someone else says you are. ↗

All that crap about love and fairness and doing something with your life, Bruno ... Those are luxury problems. The CEO’s wife can go around worrying about that stuff. People like us from the projects have to play by a different set of rules.” George Hanson In The Shadow of Sadd ↗

I noticed that a woman on Goodreads said something like, “I was reading along in the beginning thinking, okay, a woman wrote this, there’s her picture, she’s a white lady, the narrator’s a white lady. And then suddenly she says something and you realize she’s a he. And then a few pages later you realize he’s ‘brown.’ I think the author could have been a little more up front about this.” :) It made me happy because in fact I thought everybody would pick the book up, read the back cover, and know they were dealing with a woman writer speaking through a male narrator. Which is a drag, actually, because if you didn’t know the author was a woman, you’d probably assume that an unmarked first-person narrator was a man, but if you knew she was a woman you’d assume her narrator was too. And if you didn’t know the race of the author, you’d probably assume the narrator was white. That’s pretty insidious, of course - it’s the way sexism and racism work. I’m not saying this woman on Goodreads was racist or sexist, I’m saying the fact that we make these assumptions signals that we live in a world that presumes that an unmarked voice is white and male, and that women and people of color will generally be writing from a limited perspective. I guess that’s obvious. But what I was saying about this comment was that it made me realize something else about ebooks - because I can only assume she read it as an ebook if she didn’t get the back jacket copy that explains who’s narrating. I love books, print books, and my own optimal experience of reading this book would be in print, with short breaks to periodically check out the Internet connections that the narrator’s making. But I do think that decontextualization is an interesting side-effect of the ebook… ↗
