RKS Literature: England as a Hijacker and The United States as a Terrorist? (James Baldwin)

“Who, indeed, has hijacked more than England has, for example, or is more skilled in the uses of terror than my own unhappy country? Yes, I know: nevertheless children, what goes around comes around, what you send out comes back to you. A terrorist is called that only because he does not have the power of the State behind him indeed he has no state, which is why he is a terrorist”.

James Baldwin, “Just Above My Head”, 1979.
