Children are not simply commodities to be herded into line and trained for the jobs that white people who live in segregated neighborhoods have available.
Brand is just a perception, and perception will match reality over time. Sometimes it will be ahead, other times it will be behind. But brand is simply a collective impression some have about a product.
Many readers know my work first through 'Housekeeping,' simply because it was my only novel for a pretty long time.
