I'm quite stressed. I have to rewrite an entire research paper, and I still have another one I haven't really started. And the research I'm doing makes me depressed because all the information is so discouraging.
On a similar, dreary note I wanted to bring your attention to this article: Arizona Prohibits Race Based Groups
Basically Arizona universities will not be able to have groups like Black Students in Law, Latino Business Association, etc. All this because discursive thought by people of color has "threatened" western ideology. This is OUTRAGEOUS. Are you kidding me? Only fifty-odd years of Brown versus Board of Education, we have legislation that actively negates the MINIMAL presence of people of color in higher education?
Some reading material for you:
Decolonizing Methodologies by Linda Tuhiwai Smith
Color-Line to Borderlands: The Matrix of American Ethnic Studies by Johnella E. Butler
Okay, I am actually pretty depressed. I'll be back in a week or so. So much work.
