Chinua Achebe Quotes

Unfortunately, Oppression Does Not Automatically Produce Only Meaningful Struggle. It Has The Ability To Call Into Being A Wide Range Of Responses Between Partial Acceptance And Violent Rebellion. In Between You Can Have, For Instance, A Vague, Unfocused Dissatisfaction; Or, Worst Of All, Savage Infighting Among The Oppressed, A Fierce Love-hate Entanglement With One Another Like Crabs Inside The Fisherman's Bucket, Which Ensures That No Crab Gets Away. This Is A Serious Issue For African-American Deliberation.
To Answer Oppression With Appropriate Resistance Requires Knowledge Of Two Kinds: In The First Place, Self-knowledge By The Victim, Which Means Awareness That Oppression Exists, An Awareness That The Victim Has Fallen From A Great Height Of Glory Or Promise Into The Present Depths; Secondly, The Victim Must Know Who The Enemy Is. He Must Know His Oppressor's Real Name, Not An Alias, A Pseudonym, Or A Nom De Plume!
