Utilizing both Aldon Morris's (1992, 2001) notion of 'opppositional consciousness' and Raka Ray's (1999) typology of 'political fields' the author finds that the founding members of Red Thread were engaged in a struggle to red…

What about the White Women: Racial Politics in a Women's Studies Classroom
This paper is an analysis of racial politics in a women's studies course. As instructors of a course entitled "Women of Color," we experienced much resistance from students about the de-centering of whiteness in the curriculum.

Further, we describe how ideologies of colorblindne…
