Lowenstein teaches a class full of Afro-Caribbean students and she negotiates the borders and divisions between her students and the Jewish community by reading the comic book Maus, which is about the Holocaust and Jews undergoing camps in Aushuwitz. She brings up the stereotypes and leads the students to understand Jews and other minorities. When Lowenstein assigned Maus to her students, they were offended because they felt like she thought that they couldn't read because Maus was a comic book.
