“I Wish I had the Confidence of a Mediocre White Man”

Abstract

In this narrative, I trace several elements encased in a recent article entitled ¿Quien Soy Yo? These include issues connected with personal and collective identity, feelings of alienation, feminism, confidence, and assertion. There is also a deep implication that some higher education academies do not try hard enough to welcome new colleagues, especially from minorities, into their institutions.
