Wiki Annotated Bibliography

Hello everyone,

I am researching the topic of INTERLOCKING OPPRESSIONS ' and so far this is the resources I discovered to be most helpful for this page. Please feel free to make any feedback or suggest a different directions to go with this. Thanks in advance. Wiki Annotated Bibliography:

1. Tisdell, Elizabeth J. "Interlocking systems of power, privilege, and oppression in adult higher education classes." Adult Education Quarterly 43.4 (1993): 203-226. Study at a master’s level with one class taught by a male professor and another taught by a female professor. The study wanted to observe, through surveys and interviews which groups of students not only learned more but was able to exert more control in the classroom. The study showed that the class with the male teacher exerted less control.

2. Lamble, Sarah. "Retelling racialized violence, remaking White innocence: The politics of interlocking oppressions in Transgender Day of Remembrance." Sexuality Research & Social Policy 5.1 (2008): 24-42.

	Article talks about study about the Day of Rememberance deaths and how the whith witnesses that the violence done against gender-variant individuals in justified through “transphobia”. However, this is seen to be the cause of the violence and obscures how we prioritize race, class, gender.

3. McIntosh, Peggy. "White privilege: Unpacking the invisible knapsack." Race, class, and gender in the United States: An integrated study 4 (1988): 165-169. Peggy McIntosh talks about how men refuse to believe that they are overpriviledged, and that not only men do this, but also most of the Caucasian population. She states that our society has interlocking hierarchies and she pushes her readers to distinguish between “earned strength and unearned power”.

4. Dressel, Paula, Meredith Minkler, and Irene Yen. "Gender, race, class, and aging: Advances and opportunities." International Journal of Health Services 27.4 (1997): 579-600.

• • Waiting on copy to arrive to library

5. Collins, Patricia Hill. "Learning from the outsider within: The sociological significance of black feminist thought." Social problems (1986): S14-S32. The article discusses about the relationship between white women who had caretakers that were African American and what that relationship and wisdom meant to them, but also the Literature from the African American community from that time frame and how it spoke about the oppressed living conditions it faced.

6. Thompson, Becky. "Multiracial feminism: Recasting the chronology of second wave feminism." Feminist Studies 28.2 (2002): 337-360. The article looks at the history of Second Wave Feminism and how it is viewed as a hegemonic feminism. This tends to be in white leadership, supported the movement very little and also views sexism as the ultimate oppression.

7. http://www.canonballblog.com/?p=2136 This is a feminism website that looks at social justice but from more than just the lens of the white, priviledged, straight writer. The website pushes the reader to think and use a different perspective to judge the world around them. * like*

8. http://www.racialicious.com/2009/10/08/open-thread-on-interlocking-privilege-and-oppression/ Considers technology to not be neutral, which is so true and opens a new door with how we view race, class, gender. The article explains that interlocking oppressions are parts of our identity that we cannot separate from others, and that we also need to take a closer look at interlocking priviledge and how its portrayed in the media.

9. Social Justice in the Classroom: Understanding the Implications of Interlocking Oppressions Author(s): Becky Ropers-HuilmanSource: College Teaching, Vol. 47, No. 3 (Summer, 1999), pp. 91-95 This article that describes the challenges that educators have to overcome in order to better present the idea of interlocking oppression to students who have been conditioned otherwise by society. In this specific article the population was specifically from Louisiana and Mississippi, which should explain the conservatism of this paper.

10. Collins, Patricia Hill. "Toward a new vision: Race, class, and gender as categories of analysis and connection." Race, Sex & Class 1.1 (1993): 25-45. Collins talks about how our own thoughts and actions can uphold someone else’s subordination. What that means is that we oppress in ways we feel most comfortable doing so. Collins suggests that the way to change this is to try to have a different approach on how we see and do things.

Sandbox articles into main space

“It is a fundamental claim of feminism that women are oppressed. The word "oppression" is a strong word. It repels ant attracts. It is dangerous and dangerously fashionable and endangered. It is much misused, and sometimes not innocently.” Marilyn Frye

My topic of interlocking oppression is important because it is the concept of how to advocate for women’s human rights while addressing issues of race and racism. There is a gap that has been implemented for decade between race and gender and it is time that our sociologists are able to expose this and close this said gap.

  One of the best research articles I read to prepare this summary was Patricia Collins’ essay “Interlocking of Oppression”. This is a great article that discusses the idea of division of labor and how “simultaneity of oppression” occurs during the development of all materialistic relations. The only solution, according to Collins ‘essay, is to recognize these silenced forms of oppression and individuals need to be held morally responsible. This, personally, sounds like a great idea- we live in a world where every single one of our actions are subjected to a consequence. Could there be a reason to believe that morals aren’t what they used to be? 

By far Collins’ hardest concept to grasp is “domination of matrix” because it calls that each deal of oppression (racism, sexism, and classism) is intersected with gender, race and class to create a worsening case of oppression. Marilyn Frye follows the same model by using a birdcage illustration to demonstrate the same concept of interconnected relationship. However, Frye’s model takes an opposing avenue when the “birdcage wires” can be singled out and dealt with individually. The challenge for society and sociology scholars is to reduce the oppressions as an individual basis in order to take down the system as a whole. Patricia Collins, being not only a woman, but an African American woman, claims that women speak from a common place in history: “…the oppression experienced by most Black women is shaped by their subordinate status in an array of either/or dualities. Afro-American women have been assigned the inferior held of several dualities, and this placement has been central to their domination. “Page 520. There is a certain level of sadness that can be associated with the oppression that our nation has caused (and continues to harm on one another) just because of preconceived notions of what color and race means. http://www.terry.uga.edu/~dawndba/4500Oppression.html
