When a researcher who belongs to the dominant white western society engages in research with members of a nondominant racial group, she often experiences a profound transition into understanding the meaning of personal and societal racism. What happens when the fieldwork is on the other side of town and the researcher must move back and forth between a middle class white world and a poor black neighborhood? As the researcher becomes more involved with her research group, the meaning of "home" becomes lost as the researcher inevitably struggles with the significance of white privilege and the consequences of the racism this privilege serves to perpetuate.
当一位来自占主导地位的西方白人社会的研究者与一个非主导种族群体的成员进行研究时，她常常会经历深刻的转变，从而理解个人和社会层面种族主义的含义。当田野调查在城镇的另一端进行，而研究者必须在中产阶级白人世界和贫穷的黑人社区之间来回穿梭时，会发生什么呢？随着研究者越来越深入地融入她的研究群体，“家”的意义逐渐丧失，因为研究者不可避免地要面对白人特权的重要性以及这种特权所延续的种族主义的后果。
