Abstract:
Abstract Our problem is that we do not have “home really fitted to our needs,” for the study of women of color is itself a critique of Afro-American studies and of Women[’s] Studies, yet these groups are hardly powerful institutions in the university and their validity is still in question. Consequently, even though we are often perceived as “asides” in these groups, we are in the unenviable position of having to protect them, since they are usually the only groups that even acknowledge our existence. (Christian 1989, p. 22)
