It’s bell hooks. And why not? This should induce some productive tension with Badiou, who’s not exactly hot on identity politics (and I will tend to agree with him, but let’s see how it goes). A quote to kick off with:

The nature of fascism is such that it controls, limits and restricts leaders as well as the people the fascists oppress. Freedom (and by that term I do not mean to evoke some wishy-washy hang-loose do-as-you-like world) as positive social equality that grants all humans the opportunity to shape their destinies in the most healthy and communally productive way can only be a complete reality when our world is no longer racist or sexist.
