Paul’s prayer depicts a sincere desire for the congregation to grow in…

However, my parents’ retelling of my grandparents’…

In “La Güera”, Moraga writes, “The danger lies in failing to acknowledge the specificity of the oppression. The danger lies in attempting to deal with oppression purely from a theoretical base. Without emotional, heartfelt grappling with the source of our own oppression, without naming the enemy within ourselves and outside of us, no authentic, non-hierarchical connections among oppressed groups can take place” (24).
