The Dawn of Everything: A New History of Humanity Quotes

“Second, we can now see more clearly that domination begins at home. The fact that these arrangements became subjects of political contestation does not mean they were political in origin. Slavery finds its origins in war. But everywhere we encounter it slavery is also, at first, a domestic institution.

Certainly, those origins are not to be found in government.”
