progress towards a shared understanding of the multiplicity of oppressions within the mainstream
1
Following Aída Hurtado, I will write people of Color or women of Color to refer to persons or
women racialized as non-white in the U.S.
“Black”
and
“Color”
will be capitalized because they
refer to a variety of specific ethnicities.
“On
the other hand, white is left in lowercase letters
because it refers not to one ethnic group or to specified ethnic groups but to
many.”
I will not
change the capitalization used by other authors. See footnotes 1 and 4 in
“Relating
to Privilege:
Seduction and Rejection in the Subordination of White Women and Women of Color."
