It highlights the complex ways of experiencing manifold forms of marginalisation."] [(25 May 2023) Daily Maverick/Gibson Ncube]02:19 ["What this means, therefore, is that different oppressed people and groups of people can learn from each other’s oppressions".]02:25 ["Sambulo Ndlovu, a scholar of African studies, explains in this same light that it is important to consider how the humanity of some has been doubted by dominant power. According to him, it therefore becomes important to think of how “patriarchy doubts the humanity of women, ethnic majorities doubt the humanity of others, heterosexuals doubt the humanity of homosexuals, nationals doubt the humanity of foreigners and non-disabled people doubt the humanity of disabled people.”Even though I speak about shared struggles and oppressions, I am not oblivious to the fact..."]02:27 [text highlighted] ["...that struggles and oppressions, although shared, are not the same.
