Starting with the Necessary Obedience


   The quilombos -the hiding places* used by runaway slaves-constituted an exemplary moment in that learning process of rebellion-of a reinvention of life on the part of slaves who took their existence and history in hand, and, starting with the necessary "obedience," set out in quest of the invention of freedom.
~Paolo Freire, Pedagogy of Hope, p. 92
