*Avril Bell* # Progressive Summary # Definitions # Chapter Notes > ... given the persistence of colonial processes, structures and ways of thinking, it is always the right time to speak out and celebrate those who are working against these.

By our actions and inactions we are contributing either to colonialism's continuance or to its transformation. # Quotes # References
