[edit] Translation question

This article says that Richard Philcox's translation is better-accepted than Constance Farrington's -- I'm just wondering if anyone has a source for this? I'm not disagreeing with the claim (I have read the entire book in the original, but only pieces of Farrington's translation and none of Philcox's). I'm just wondering what about Philcox's translation makes it preferable. Anyway, that's a claim that should be cited in the article. My rain face 09:21, 1 June 2006 (UTC)



"We believe that the conscious and organized undertaking by a colonized people to re-establish the sovereingty of that nation constitutes the most complete and obvious cultural manifestation that exists."
