This book was so formative for me! My favorite quote from it is this one:
"I don’t see how else anyone can survive colonialism. Understanding our own condition, I think in saying ‘loved each other,’ Baldwin doesn’t just mean the living. To survive by loving each other means to love our ancestors too. To know their pain, struggles, and joys. It means to love our collective memory, who we are, where we come from"

Yes to this! Also, Baldwin’s reminder that to act is to be committed, and to be committed is to be in danger.
