Liberation then cannot be separated from the historical struggle of freedom in this world. To be liberated is not simply “a status one has but an action one undertakes as a self-conscious subject.”17 Liberation means: Mammy, don't you cook no more, You are free, you are free! Rooster, don't you crow no more, You are free, you are free! Old hen, don't you lay no more eggs, You are free, you are free.
