Resistance embodies counter-civilities warranting recognition as worlds

Evidence

Resistance, oppositionality, pushing back so often embody and embed counter-civilities, different ways of being-in-the-world, reflective and reflexive of contrasting ways of world-making. The point is how to recognize them all around one, to establish conditions for the mutual engagement and flourishing of the engaged, as well as possible grounds for distinguishing not so much the civil from the uncivil but the just from the unjust, those respectful of the dignity of the different from those violating the grounds of their being. — David Theo Goldberg, The Threat of Race, 253
