La Kemster

You come to the United States and the United States begins immediately, systematically, to erase you in every way, to suppress those things which it considers not digestible. You spend a lot of time being colonized. Then, if you’ve got the opportunity and the breathing space and the guidance, you immediately-when you realize it-begin to decolonize yourself. And in that process, you relearn names for yourself that you had forgotten.
