Much of how I have felt for long:
"Seeing and keeping ourselves central,
never marginal.
For some years know,
writers of color have been discussing
the experience of living in the margins
while white people are living in the
center.
In one of her early books,
Feminist Theory: From Margin to Center
(Boston: South End Press, 1984), Bell
Hooks defines it:
To be in the margin is to be part of
the whole but outside the main
body…
Living as we did − on the edge −
we developed a particular way of seeing
reality.
We looked both from the outside
in and from the inside out.
We focused
our attention on the center as well as on
the margin. (p.ix.)"
