Adam Charles Levite

"The Uncle, then, is not only a person, but a figure through whom authority, masculinity, violence, and desire are learned. He is despised, and still somehow desired. He returns not as a ghost, but as a structure already absorbed into the body. His protection becomes difficult to separate from violence, and care from control. He does not need to speak; his authority has already been internalized."

—Iman Malik
