Everybody looks at the media in this time period as if their political positions, their dynamics, their focuses, are normal and natural. . . In fact, nothing is separate from how it's interpreted; there's no such thing as an existential event. As soon as you interpret something, you're interpreting it with respect to your values and, as you know, everyone is walking around with different values. But this is not manifested on the TV news or in the university system, where so many sectors are denied access; we're just getting one value system from these places, and it's not healthy - for Africans, Asians and Europeans, for women and men.
- Anthony Braxton, from Forces in Motion (1988)
