Produktinformationen zu „Privilege, Liberalism, and Race “
Across the nation, university initiatives indicate an active interest in increasing
racial diversity on college campuses, and in their surrounding communities.
However, the number of People of Color who initially attend these universities
often leave prior to graduation. The findings of this study, based in
Boulder, Colorado, indicate that predominantly white university communities
(PWUC), that self-identify as liberal, may prove as racially tense for People of
Color as more conservative communities.
This study includes discussion of the following:
? Whites in these communities often feel entitled to educate people of color
about ethnic culture.
? Whites in these communities celebrate the visual aspects of ethnic culture,
but struggle with the cross-cultural communication challenges that
accompany a history of racial inequity.
? People of Color living in PWUC?s communities cope by being silent, hyperethnocentric,
and emotionally or physically retreating.
? Youth of Color who grow up in these PWUC?s often feel awkward with
other People of Color.
The results of this research further the discussion of diversity, racism and
classism between various racial groups living in predominantly white liberal
communities. It is useful for educators, scholars and sociologists interested in
issues of diversity, intercultural, and intracultural communication.
