In "The Light of Gandhi's Lamp," Hilary Kromberg Inglis writes about how she feels before meeting her sister's jailer:
And here I was, wanting to reach out, to take his hands in mine, to make him gentle, to settle the demons he thought he saw in my sister’s face. I wanted to tame him—to save my sister’s life. Could I do that, only nineteen years old, a white girl “on the other side”—in his eyes, a traitor, a communist, with viciously dishonorable intentions of overthrowing the white apartheid government?

It suggests, with vivid language, her sense of being seen as a dangerous revolutionary by the authorities in South Africa.

Step-by-step explanation:

Inglis makes it clear in her text that despite being only a 19-year-old girl, she may be seen by African officials as a revolutionary just because of her skin color. The part of the text that evidences this is: " I wanted to tame him—to save my sister’s life. Could I do that, only nineteen years old, a white girl “on the other side”—in his eyes, a traitor, a communist, with viciously dishonorable intentions of overthrowing the white apartheid government?"
