The only good thing to report is that we are still here. As we move forward it is plain to those who know what to look for that there are big changes occurring in our communities. Our young people have begun the process of Decolonization. We have learned many things in our class about oppression, resistance and liberation in our class. The undoing and transformation must occur at the level of group and individual interactions.
Liberation involves changing oppressive attitudes and assumptions.
Oppression is the systematic and the pervasive mistreatment of Human Beings on the basis of their membership in various groups. Resistance is the only way to combat these forces of oppression. In our class, we learned about the many facets of resistance. I think the most important one has been the problem of the 'Pathology of Pacifism'. Howard Zinn and later Ward Churchill have clearly enunciated how this problem has been created in the last 75 years.
