She grapples with racism, sexism, and colonization from "summary" of A Question of Power by Robert Bryce

The protagonist in 'A Question of Power' finds herself embroiled in a relentless struggle against the oppressive forces of racism, sexism, and colonization. These systems of power intertwine and reinforce each other, creating a complex web of discrimination and subjugation that she must navigate. Racism rears its ugly head in various forms throughout her life, from blatant acts of discrimination to more insidious microaggressions. As a Black woman, she is constantly reminded of her inferior place in society, facing daily indignities that chip away at her sense of self-worth. Sexism further compounds her struggles, as she grapples with the double burden of being both a woman and a person of color. She is subjected to degrading treatment and objectification, denied opportunities for advancement, and forced to conform to narrow, oppressive standards of femininity. Colonization looms large in her life, casting a long shadow over her identity and shaping her understanding of the world. The legacy of imperialism is ever-present, informing the way she is perceived and treated by others, as well as the way she perceives and relates to herself. These intersecting systems of oppression work in tandem to erode her sense of agency and autonomy, leaving her feeling trapped and powerless. She is caught in a cycle of violence and dehumanization, struggling to assert her humanity in a world that denies her very existence.
