“There is another kind of revolution, one that does not emerge from the culture, from philosophy, from theory, from thought abstracted from sense, but instead from our bodies, and from the land… It is the salmon battering themselves against the concrete [dams], using the only thing they have, their flesh, to try to break down that which keeps them from their homes… If we only begin to feel in our bodies the immensity of what we are losing—intact ecosystems, hours sold for wages, childhoods lost to violence, women’s capacity to walk unafraid—we will know precisely what we need to do.”
