ブラックフェミニズムの思想07
パトリシア・ヒル・コリンズの本の第一版の序文の第7段落
Oppressed groups are frequently placed in the situation of being listened to only if we frame our ideas in the language that is familiar to and comfortable for a dominant group. This requirement often changes the meaning of our ideas and works to elevate the ideas of dominant groups. In this volume, by placing African-American women’s ideas in the center of analysis, I not only privilege those ideas but encourage White feminists, African-American men, and all others to investigate the similarities and differences among their own standpoints and those of African-American women.
私たち抑圧されている集団は支配的集団にとって快適でなじみがある言葉遣いで考えたときにのみ聞いてもらえるという状況に頻繁に位置づけられる。このような条件によって私たちの考えの意味は変えられることが多く、支配的集団の考えが高く評価されるようになることが多い。この本では、アフリカンアメリカンの女性たちの考えを分析の中心に置くことで、それらを優遇するだけでなく、ホワイトフェミニスト、アフリカンアメリカンの男性、そしてその他の全ての人々が、自身のところからの見解とアフリカンアメリカン女性のところからの見解の間の共通性と相違点を探るように勧めている。
