Norviel's Analysis Paper Exercise

I am going to use Johnson chapter 3 and Takaki chapter 3. My position according to these writings is that I agree that race and gender do in deed play a factor in privilege in the sake of capitalism.

Johnson

• After the war, white capitalists would use the Chinese immigrants’ need to work to their advantage, using them for cheap labor.
• Created “whiteness” to employ less privileged whites for low wages
• Mexican immigrants hired over whites because they could pay them less
• People who are disabled were placed under those who weren’t disabled, which gave them little opportunity for challenge or advancement
• Women were thought of as inferior, and that the work they do isn’t really work

Takaki

• The English, rather than employ other whites to do their work, they enslaved the blacks to do the work for free.
• The new settlers took over the Indian’s land because they felt the Indians were inferior to them.
