Quotation:
Fantasy is more than an escape from the truths of the world and the past: it is an open acknowledgment that those truths are complex and morally difficult. It offers a different route to creating something which will resonate with readers, in a way which resists the erasure of privacy and autonomy which pervades our modern world.
Guy Gavriel Kay
Social Example:
We are all Treaty people. As settlers on this land, we have an obligation to uphold our treaty commitments.
Colonial systems are set up to continue the erasure of First Peoples.
