Working within the critical theorists’ understanding of the subordination, discuss what Collins means by the term matrix of domination.

What will be an ideal response?


Although changes have occurred in the country and in the world that may indicate that Collins writings are no longer needed because race is no longer a single standing factor. What Collins pins is the need to examined all points of contact and nut simply a hierarchy as generally perceived having a top and bottom or ruling class and then subordinates. She discusses the variance of relationships individuals can have with each other how the dominance can come from within the same group. This strays from the common understandings of racial positions as it does not allow for just one point of dominance but points to the many that result from the simplest or most subtle shifts in power.
