GR: Colonialism and sexual choice

[Dave Monroe]

Do, by all means, at LEAST in re: the passage from GR posted by Doug
below, letting the colonizing self go, see Johannes Fabian's Out of Our
Minds: Reason and Madness in the Exploration of Central Africa
(Berkeley: U of California P, 2000).  Again, nice review in the current
issue of Lingua Franca titled "Mistah Kurtz, He Stoned" ...

"[...] wait, wait a minute, yes it's Karl Marx, that sly old racist
skipping away with his teeth together and his eyebrows up trying to
make believe it's nothing but Cheap Labor and Overseas Marketsd. . .
. Oh, no. Colonies are much, much more. Colonies are the outhouses of
the European soul, where a fellow can let his pants down and relax,
enjoy the smell of his own shit. Where he can fall on his slender
prey roaring as loud as he feels like, and guzzle her blood with open
joy. Eh? Where he can just wallow and rut and let himself go in a
softness, a receptive darkness of limbs, of hair as wooly as the hair
on his own forbidden genitals." (GR 317)
