Massimo,

You have a quote attributed to aboriginal women in your paper. Could you
please clarify the source?

thanks,

Zeynep

"Thus rather than the old solidarity paradigm, a better description of the
way different groups and movements tend to enter in relation with one
another is the one provided by what an Aboriginal women said to those
coming to her people to offer solidarity: 

If you have come here to help me 

You are wasting your time . . . 

But if you have come because 

Your liberation is bound up with mine 

Then let us work together 

In this assertion there is at the same time the rejection of instrumental
support, the assertion of autonomy, and the openness to relate to others."
