POWER & PRIVILEGE

 “(In)equalities derived from race, ethnicity, class, gender, and their intersections place specific groups of the population in a privileged position with respect to other groups and offer individuals unearned benefits based solely on group membership; historical and systemic patterns of disinvestment in nonprivileged groups are major contributors to the low social and economic position of those groups; representation of groups and individuals in media, art, music, and other cultural forms create and sustain ideologies of group and individual inferiority/ superiority (...).”
(Bonnie Thornton Dill and Ruth Enid Zambrana)
