“There is no neutral education process. Education either functions

as an instrument which is used to facilitate the integration of
generations into the logic of the present system, and bring about
conformity to it, or it becomes the ‘practice of freedom’, the means
by which people deal critically with reality and discover how to
participate in the transformation of their world.”
Paulo Freire

“The struggle is inner: Chicano, indio, American Indian, mojado, mexicano,

immigrant Latino, Anglo in power, working class Anglo, Black, Asian--our
psyches resemble the bordertowns and are populated by the same people.
The struggle has always been inner, and is played out in outer terrains.
Awareness of our situation must come before inner changes, which in turn
come before changes in society. Nothing happens in the "real" world unless
it first happens in the images in our heads.”

- Gloria Anzuldúa, Borderlands/La Frontera
