Learning from below requires mutual ethical responding with a compromised teacher

Evidence

The imposition of personal family codes on colonized societies is one scandalous example from which women are still suffering all over the world. Yet the possibility of learning from below should not be forever foreclosed because of these forces of reaction. And it is this learning that can only be earned by the slow effort at ethical responding—a two-way road—with the compromised other as teacher. — Donna Landry and Gerald MacLean, The Spivak Reader, 2217
