All groups tell
stories, but some groups have the power to impose their stories on others, to
label others, stigmatize others, paint others as undesirables, and to have
these social labels presented as scientific fact, God's will, or wholesome
entertainment.
Stories are a way of
making sense of our lives, the lives of others, and the social order, and this
is true for both the oppressed and the oppressors.
