What does Gregory mean by compression and expansion, and why does he go on to say that "we... are implicated in the performance of the colonial present"?
5. Gregory argues that "the most enduring memorial to the thousands who were murdered in the catastrophic destruction of the World Trade Center and parts of the Pentagon on September 11- and to thousands more who have been killed in Afghanistan, Israel, Palestine, and Iraq- would be the destruction of the architectures of enmity that produced and have been sustained by those dreadful events."
