Quote by Eduardo Galeano

“Das ist Lateinamerika, die Re­ gion der offenen Adern. Von seiner Entdeckung bis in die heutige Zeit wurde alles stets in euro­ päisches oder später in nordamerikanisches Ka­ pital verwandelt und als solches wurde und wird es in den fernen Zentren der Macht angehäuft. Alles: das Land, seine Früchte und seine Boden­ schätze, die Menschen und ihre Arbeits- und Kon­ sumkraft.”

“Maybe I don’t know the names of any of the flowers of Vrangelya, but I know every one here. I know that soon the ground will be covered with white-and- yellow bloodroot. Tiny explosive trout lily. Mounds of green-framed white trillium. Rue anemone in the palest pink. All blooming in the short frame between the thawing of the ground and the leaf-out that will block the sun. It’s what happens in spring when all of Homelands calls out: Look at me. Listen to me. Love me. Make life with me.”
