“La Russie d’Alexandre III appartient indubitablement au club très fermé des grandes puissances. Ses dimensions (elles s’agrandiront encore sous le règne de ce tsar épris de paix), sa population (de cent vingt-neuf millions de personnes selon le premier recensement général de 1897), en sont des preuves convaincantes. Dans la période qui suit les réformes, le pays se développe rapidement sur le plan industriel. Entre 1860 et 1913, l’augmentation de la production est de 5 % en moyenne, et dans les années 1890, elle atteint presque les 8 %. L’essor économique, fortement stimulé sous le règne d’Alexandre III, se poursuivra, à une cadence non moins rapide sous celui de son fils, Nicolas II. En 1914, la Russie sera la quatrième puissance industrielle, son commerce extérieur la placera au sixième rang mondial.”

“One of the major dilemmas inherent in the attempt by black people to break through the cultural aspects of white imperialism is that posed by the use of historical knowledge as a weapon in our struggle. We are virtually forced into the invidious position of proving our humanity by citing historical antecedents; and yet the evidence is too often submitted to the white racists for sanction. The white man has already implanted numerous historical myths in the minds of black peoples; and those have to be uprooted . . . It is necessary to direct our historical activity in the light of two basic principles[:] Firstly, the effort must be directed solely towards freeing and mobilising black minds. There must be no performances to impress whites, for those whites who find themselves beside us in the firing line will be there for reasons far more profound than their exposure to African history. Secondly, the acquired knowledge of African history must be seen as directly relevant but secondary to the concrete tactics and strategy which are necessary for our liberation. There must be no false distinctions between reflection and action . . . If there is to be any proving of our humanity it must be by revolutionary means.”
