“Cultural identities are the points of identification, the unstable points of identification or suture, which are made, within the discourses of history and culture. Not an essence but a positioning.”Rest in power, Stuart Hall (Feb. 3 1932-Feb. 10, 2014), cultural theorist, scholar, and public intellectual. You will be sorely missed.

INFO: Grace Lee Boggs is the daughter of Chinese immigrants, an author, lifelong activist, and feminist. Her studies in philosophy and the writings of Marx, Hegel, and Margaret Mead led to a lifetime of social activism. Facing significant barriers in the academic world as a woman of color in the 1940s, she took a job at low wages at the University of Chicago Philosophy Library. Through that job she began fighting for tenants’ rights and joined the Workers Party. At this point, she began to focus on what would become her life’s work: the struggles of women and the African-American community. She attempted to convince Malcolm X to run for the United States Senate in 1964. After marrying black auto worker and activist James Boggs, Lee moved to Detroit, where she remains an activist today.

Noah Cho, who is half Korean and half white, reflects on looking into the mirror.
I have some pretty serious feels about this, too. My dad is Chinese and I look way more like him than my white mom, and this just sounded so familiar.
