Robert Stam and Ella Shohat's *Unthinking Eurocentrism.* They only

in germany they first came for the communists, and i didn't speak up
because i wasn't a communist. then they came for the jews, and i didn't
speak up because i wasn't a jew. then they came for the trade unionists,
and i didn't speak up because i wasn't a trade unionist. then they came
for the catholics, and i didn't speak up because i was a protestant. then
they came for me -- and by that time no one was left to speak up.
