I found it intriguing in chapter four that many historians believe that race has not always been a construct of society (Allen 70). That racial awareness was introduced when the Europeans found the Indians and thought they were inferior because of their language, skin, and technology (70).

Even though many enhancements have been made regarding social…

Pierre Bourdieu, in Distinction, explains taste and preference between different social classes and education levels. He argues that taste is not pure and what we find aesthetically pleasing, and what we appreciate, in terms of art and literature, are directly connected to how people are raised and the way they are educated.
