In this commentary, I suggest that our work with women of color should be held together by three primary threads: (a) appreciation for history as we decipher and interpret the adaptive strategies of women of color; (b) recognition of the intersections of race, gender, and class as central to our work; and (c) self-critical examination of the meanings we attach to "difference". The papers in the current special issue provide good examples regarding the importance of each thread. I argue that attention to these three themes should help us to keep our focus on contextually driven questions and to move forward our appreciation for the lives of women of color.
在这篇评论中，我认为我们与有色人种女性的工作应围绕三条主线展开：（a）在解读和阐释有色人种女性的适应策略时，要重视历史；（b）认识到种族、性别和阶级的交叉是我们工作的核心；（c）对我们赋予“差异”的含义进行自我批判性审视。本期特刊中的论文为每条主线的重要性提供了很好的例证。我认为关注这三个主题应有助于我们将重点放在由具体情境驱动的问题上，并增进我们对有色人种女性生活的理解。
