margins-to-centre -- a pro-feminist list discussing the intersections of gender, race, class and other systems of oppression
About margins-to-centre	English (USA)
"'I cannot be an Asian American on Monday, a woman on Tuesday, a lesbian on Wednesday, a worker/ student on Thursday, and a political radical on Friday..I am all these things-every-day. We are discriminated against as workers on the economic plane, as racial minorities on the economic and social planes, and as women on all three planes - economic, social, and domestic/ family'" - Emily Woo Yamasaki "This viewpoint shifts the entire focus of investigation from one aimed at explicating elements of race or gender or class oppression to one whose goal is to determine what the links are among these systems. The first approach typically prioritizes one form of oppression as being primary, then handles remaining types of oppression as variables within what is seen as the most important system. For example, the efforts to insert race and gender into Marxist theory exemplify this effort. In contrast, the more holistic approach implied in Black feminist thought treats the Interactions among multiple systems as objects of study." - Patricia Hill Collins "It is not true that men are unwilling to change. It is true that many men are afraid to change. It is true that masses of men have not even begun to look at the ways that patriarchy keeps them from knowing themselves, from being in touch with their feelings, from loving. To know love, men must be able to let go the will to dominate. They must be able to choose life over death. They must be willing to change." - bell hooks To see the collection of prior postings to the list, visit the margins-to-centre Archives.
