Homeplace

In the Homeplace article, Bell Hooks talks about when she moved into a white neighborhood at a young age. She remembers the whites lookind at her in hate as she would walk down the street. She loved reaching her home where she did not have to deal with racism and oppression. She referred to homeplace as a site represented as a woman's domain. The homeplace is somewhere where you can spend time with the family and not deal with any issues outside the home. She goes on to say that her mother worked as a caretaker in a white home. Her mother would come home after the day was over and just take care of her children. She did her work and left it there. She did not complain about working for a white family all day.
