"Injustice, however, is not abstract."

We now all live in a kind of Third World, a world where freely shared knowledge is fast becoming an endangered species, owing to patent developments and intellectual property law, a world where class disparities are salient. [...] Our scholarship is, I believe, increasingly commensurate with the corporatization of universities, not just in the United States but worldwide. This is a time when big business is in everybody's business, a time when self-censorship is becoming ingrained, a development that encourages potential critical thinkers to move away from the concrete toward the abstract. Injustice, however, is not abstract.
