How does Parrenas expand on traditional feminist theory when analyzing taxi dance halls?
Existing feminist theories often assume clear hierarchies (example: that white women hold racial privilege while women of color suffer racial exclusion)

Erika Lee builds on the work of Howard Winant, who coined the term "globality of race". What does this concept mean?
