This included the forms of resistance/ self-preservation available to them. She has also engaged in the comparative analysis of gender and race in the construction of citizenship and labor across the United States of America.Her upbringing greatly influenced her critical thinking and perspective of the world, due to her racial background and the situation of the time.
