Imperfect Solidarities
Aruna D'Souza
“The liberal mindset is not that different than the conservative one in that it needs to see conflict as a moral battle between good versus evil, or between perpetrators of violence versus victims of violence (each of these seen as fixed and immutable rather than contingent), and thus can only find empathy in the identification of and with pure innocence.” (21)
“Empathy is a personal transformation not necessarily a collective act—it replaces political revolution with atomized notions of individuals doing right by others.” (29)
“If the mobility promised by global capitalism depends upon containerization—being able to carry things in an efficient, contained way—the leak is inefficiency, that which slows down and resists such a shuttling of people and their labor across the world.” (35)
“When a postcolonial subject demands opacity, they are asserting the right to remain untranslatable by the colonizing institutions of the West, the right to remain irreducible to Western categorizations, and—most importantly for us—the right to remain unknown by the knowledge gatherers of the West. It is thus a fundamental prerequisite to equality and the ability to fully participate in the world.” (53)
“Are there ways to sit with the unknowability of the other and still care for and with them, without translating ourselves into their terms? Are there ways to understand the world outside of the binaries of self and other, instead embracing the fundamental interconnectedness of human (and, in this time of environmental collapse, nonhuman) life?” (81)
“Care before love—or care before empathy: this is the politics I aspire to. A solidarity that comes very directly from a commitment to care because that is the most basic obligation we have toward each other. If empathy or love develop along the way, that is a gift, but not a requirement.” (83)
