The (Re-)Making of a Black American: Tracing the Racial and Ethnic Socialization of Caribbean American Youth - Paperback

by Rochelle Brock (Other), Richard Greggory III Johnson (Other), Chonika Coleman-King (Author)

Grounded in the notion that racism is an inescapable marker of the Black experience in the US, this book explores the ways children of Black immigrants from the English-speaking Caribbean come to understand their racial and ethnic identities, given the socialization messages they receive from their parents and their experiences with institutionalized racism and racial hierarchies in a U.S. middle school.
