The Critical Image, Aids Photography - Simon Watney, p. 184 - accept, celebrate our species - photography does this

The Problem of Speaking for Others, Linda Alcoff, p. 17 - retreat theory (to not speak of what is outside our experience) is not beneficial - hides, rather than raises awareness
- P. 22 - EVEN IF THEY DO SPEAK, it won't help - a middle ground is hard to find.
