rooted in the narrow version of western experience.” The difference here is that common expression may exist for white woman, but oppression comes as a overlapping form for women of racial minority. It is impossible to ignore the existence of intersectionality in finding women’s identity. The definition for womanhood and feminism that assumes all women are the same is improper but widely shaped all three waves of women’s…

define “who then is America, this new man” in the way that contrasts European countries. However, America does not always act in accordance with the national identity given by the author, Crevecoeur. In other words, things can vary because of intersectionality. As one of the key documents of American Studies, the Letters From an American Farmer are a direct attempt at depicting the image of America, especially the Letter III titled “What Is an American”. In Crevecoeur’s understanding, American…

CONCLUSION The objectification of Josephine Baker that plays out in this project is demonstrated by the orchestration that takes place in the use of the pool as an “entertainment” centre, the selection of entry points into the pool and “pedestalisation” of the pool using structure. Later, the texts that attempt to criticise the project further objectify Josephine Baker by using “other”-ing words. The pool is the object of the guest’s gaze due to its structural and spatial hierarchy. The…

AVID Mission Statement My childhood was spent with four women. They constructed a space for me that was void of the manacles of racial standards, an expanse free for me to roam and wallow freely in its immaculate glory. As i endeavored to America, this space shrunk further and further until it had transformed into a cramped chamber. For the first time, I had to grapple with what it meant to be black, to have your skin’s pigment be brimmed with melanin. The concept of race was vehemently…

Equality has been a topic that has been fought for in the United States for many years now. Going back to past years, people fought for rights to vote, rights to resources, and rights for opportunities. Even after some of those rights have been accomplished, reality is that we still see oppression and isms in effect in our country. Yes, we have achieved some equality, however, there are people in our country that have more privilege and power due to their color, economic status, or gender. Our…

Privilege is an idea that as young children, we learn can be given or taken away based on a set of circumstances — in this case, behaviour may be a variable, but as one gets older, the concept of privilege is based on one’s own personal circumstances. Whether this be one’s race, gender, class, income level, religion, ethnicity, level of education, physical ability, or geographic location, an individual is placed within the hierarchal social ladder based on ascribed status’s, and reasonings that…

each other equally. They never had a problem with getting along because of color of skin or because someone appeared differently. Only thing I did notice was that the girls mostly played with the girls while the boys mostly played with boys.
