I also wonder how many presumptions we make about western history because of white European influence. I love this notion of "decolonizing" western history and Castañeda only can begin to touch on some of the issues. How entrenched is our history in this "colonized" thinking? | I also wonder how many presumptions we make about western history because of white European influence.

| + | I believe that Castañeda brings out some very interesting and thought-provoking ideas in her essay about the struggle against both gender and race discrimination in history. However, I would have liked her to be more clear about who she includes and does not include when she says "women of color." Additionally, I would have liked her to also clarify who she means when she says "white." There are many European countries from which women in America have ancestry. I found it a bit hypocritical that a person writing about the need for history to include the lives of "women of color" more fairly, would continuously clump all "women of non-color" into one generlized category of "white." --[[User:Mturner|Mturner]] 20:02, 26 August 2009 (MDT)-Mary Turner | ||
