I would hesitate to limit our perspectives..perhaps we can point to multiple resources...which provide multiple frames of reference. In this way, we help our students to understand not only critical reflection, but also how these reflections are linked to/structured by various positions of privilege/access or its lack..

Enzo,
As someone who teaches in Women's Studies, I would hesitate to assign S.
Okin (a white, western, second wave feminist)on multiculturalism. It would be better to find a minority ethnic feminist who addresses those issues.
For instance, consider instead Rogaia Abusharaf on African genital circumcision, "Virtuous Cuts"

I hope this is helpful.
