Document Summary
Roberta can"t read; twyla can"t remember what she reads. Also hierarchy based on age not just race. More important for twyla to know who roberta is rather than herself. Who gets to authorize that moment in history. Must be barbaric; use what happened for your own ends troublesome. History = never fixed but something we"re a part of; recuperating, debating about that history. Group of women who are invisible, disposable, survivors we know nothing about them. Doesn"t actually know who he"s defending anymore. Feel more betrayed by someone who you thought would protect you moment of crisis/doubt. Are you a soldier first as an american, jew first, etc. Being an invisible woman (marked as other and invisible) Subscribed to embracing assimilation (immersing into american culture and identity) Marked as being from somewhere else can never leave that behind. Adultery: thinks it"s the most american thing she can do.
