"Dehumanization, which marks not only those whose humanity has been stolen, but also (though in a different way) those who have stolen it, is a distortion to dthe vocation of becoming more fully human...[the] Struggle [for humanization] is possible only because dehumanization, although a concrete historical fact, is not a given destiny buit the result of an unjust order that engenders violence in the oppressors, which in turn dehumanizes the oppressed... In order for this struggle to have meaning, the oppressed must not, in seeking to regain their humanity (which is a way to create it), become in turn oppressors of the oppressors, but rather restorers of the humanity if both."
Paulo Freire
quoted in "Relative Humanity. "Race Traitor"Winter 2005 Num. 16
