this reminds me of when whites leave a neighborhood after people
of color move in - in the study it was after african-americans moved in -
which is that when the percentage moves from 8% to 10%, then whites begin
moving out in increasing numbers - this is also when they say that they
live in an integrated neighborhood. the difference between 8 percent and
10 percent is that people of color are noticeable. a difference that
makes a difference.
it is almost as if whites define themselves as whites through
negation - they are not black.
rather like the way men define themselves as men - they don't have
feminine attributes.
the way heterosexuals define themselves as heterosexuals - they
don't have homosexual relationships.
interesting, Katherine - thanks .......
how can it be that Zhozephina Shif be a footnote in chapter six of
vygotsky's 'Thought and language', and be presented by her in her
publications as her text, as nate pointed out.....
i do think there is a connection to this question and what
Katherine has written.
