We must\n\narrive at a concept of history which corresponds to this. Then it will become clear that the task before us is the introduction of a real state of emergency; and our position in the struggle against Fascism will thereby improve . . . \n\nI am depending on this Benjamin paragraph, as\n\nto explain where I am now but of course after I have said that I realize that while I may  have picked this paragraph up in a small bookstore one day a few years ago\n\nI have understood its uncanniness all my life. All my life\nbut to complete this task would have meant some difficult decisions on my part\nnot the least of which was to live the statement out\n\n(Dionne Brand)",
