"E. San Juan reminds us that we are all located within arenas of battle 'between humanity and barbarism, between oppressed third world peoples fighting for survival and the rule of a dehumanized global capital.' In this historic struggle new ideas, imaginations and strategies are needed that enable us to transform the world in which we live. This transformation requires understanding, and such understanding can be furnished with theory." — Against the Current
