The tension between whites and blacks in America is very obvious, and my academic training gave me a way to analyze the situation and place it in its proper historical context. I learned that gender isn't the only dividing line in society; there are also class and racial divisions.
學術訓練讓我為現象找到了分析的切入點，可以放在歷史的脈絡，也使我意識到社會上除了性別，還有階級、種族問題。
