Research on the impact of women's self-defense classes has primarily focused on White women. I explore perceptions of race and gender identity of five African American women who participated in a semester-long self-defense class. I examine the relevance of the intersection of race and gender to their self-defense experience, focusing on three concepts commonly considered barriers in self-defense classes: body image and beauty standards, perceptions of strength, and perceived vulnerability to violence. Participants' responses reveal the ways that gender and race are experienced as integrated aspects of identity, pointing to the need for self-defense curricula to include an intersectional approach.
关于女性自卫课程影响的研究主要集中在白人女性身上。我探讨了五名参加了为期一学期自卫课程的非裔美国女性对种族和性别认同的看法。我研究了种族与性别的交叉对于她们自卫体验的相关性，重点关注自卫课程中通常被视为障碍的三个概念：身体形象与美貌标准、力量认知以及对暴力的感知易受性。参与者的回答揭示了性别和种族作为身份认同综合方面的体验方式，表明自卫课程需要采用一种交叉性方法。
