In Primate Visions, she wrote: "My hope has been that the always oblique and sometimes perverse focusing would facilitate revisionings of fundamental, persistent western narratives about difference, especially racial and sexual difference; about reproduction, especially in terms of the multiplicities of generators and offspring; and about survival, especially about survival imagined in the boundary conditions of both the origins and ends of history, as told within western traditions of that complex genre".
U Vizijama primata je napisala: „Moja nada leži u tome da uvek posredno i ponekad perverzno fokusiranje može da olakša reviziju fundamentalnih i upornih zapadnih narativa o razlikama, naročito o rasnim i seksualnim razlikama; o reprodukciji, posebno u smislu mnoštva generatora i potomaka; i o preživljavanju, naročito o preživljavanju zamišljenom u ograničenim uslovima porekla i o kraju istorije, kao što je rečeno u zapadnim tradicijama tog kompleksnog žanra.”
