THE CROSS-CULTURAL MEMOIR SERIES

I am proud of my activist students. I have some of them in my classes, for I always teach literature courses that discuss issues of race, class, and gender, and student activists gravitate to these courses. This is an important time in the City University’s history, when the ability of poor students—my students—to afford a quality education is being severely threatened. I know that if tuition hikes go through, many of my students will have to postpone their education or curtail it completely.
That I am teaching I Dwell in Possibility during this historical moment in my life, in my students’ lives, enables us to understand your work more deeply and to understand our own historical moment. Through your work we come to feel what it is like to live through and bear witness to violence as you did. Many of us are nervous; many of us are having nightmares. My body has broken out in enormous hives. Many students come to me during office hours to discuss whether they will take part in protests; many come telling me they feel they are in danger.
