An Irele sentence

'For if, as Karl Marx has observed (in The Holy Family), human beings are the real source of history and not an impersonal principle, it is the myriad forms of exchange and transactions between peoples and races, either in situations of conflict or, as is more often the case, as strategies of accommodation to each other, that have everywhere and over the ages determined the evolution of our world.'

A quintessential Irele paragraph, in the range of knowledge it is resting on, its evocation of vast possibilities, while remaining a precise expression of a specific idea or ideas, constitutes a research project.
