Walcott on McKittrick, p. 190: "Wynter is very attentive to biology as both a known and unknown quality of what it means to be human. Her writings evidence the ways in which culture and knowledge are implicit to producing scientific descriptive statements of humanness, as well as disclosing the very scientific underpinnings of a flesh-and-blood worldview."

Shotwell, p. 166: "articulations of prefigurative politics -- the practice of collectively acting in the present in a way that enacts the world we aspire to create." & p. 171: "Identifying into disability praxis means that everyone, however situated, can shape their life's practice in a way that contributes to self-determination and coproduced freedoms."
