Delpit's Argument and Context

Hey there,

Here is the work we did last week on Delpit...

Further, as you work on Kozol and McIntosh this week, don't lose track of Johnson (see my last post) or of Delpit's Rules and Codes of Power that we started to talk about in class. What would Johnson say about Kozol's Mott Haven? What would Delpit think of the idea of "white privilege?" In fact, if you think of her RCofP #5 as you read Kozol and McIntosh, it might help you stay focused...

• "#5: Those with power are frequently least aware of (or least willing to acknowledge) its existence. Those with less power are often most aware of it existence."

What does this have to do with Kozol's story of the South Bronx or McIntosh's experience with "white privilege"???? Comment here is you have thooughts, or post with this in mind on your blog this week.

See you on Tuesday!

LB :)
