Bill Templer, "The Uses of an Earthquake: Rereading Harry Cleaver"Bill Templer writes: "The Uses of an Earthquake:
"In dozens of the poorer barrios of Mexico City, the movement of the earth sparked movements of people using the devastation in property and the cracks opened in the structures of political power to break through oppressive social relations and to improve their lives. […] For those of us outside of Mexico, the people of Tepito have an important lesson to teach, not only about the uses of an earthquake, but about the use of crisis more generally. […] We should always be ready to take advantage of any crack or rupture in the structures of power which confine us." Have a look: http://www.eco.utexas.edu/facstaff/Cleaver/earthq
