Delpit's relevance to my future field

I am an English major, but as of now, I am not planning to teach. I would like to go somewhere into the writing, editing, and publishing field. The issues that Delpit discusses definitely apply to these areas. Power is not just exercised in academia, but it pervades all of society. Delpit wants students to be instructed in the rules and language of power so that they can be effective functioning members of society. This implies that rules of power apply to the world beyond the classroom. That is why her observations and goals are important for anyone wanting to be more aware and effective in their particular field. In the publishing and editing field, I will come across a variety of authors with all kinds of backgrounds. Knowing the issues and presence of power will help me to understand and respond to their work in a way that seeks equality and is also most effective. Increased awareness of the world around you is always a beneficial learning tool, and by knowing that power in the classroom is something every child has encountered, we can grow closer to understanding and relating to one another.
