What is Internalized Racial Oppression and Why Don't We Study It? Acknowledging Racism's Hidden Injuries

Karen Pyke · 1 Dec 2010

Despite sociology's longstanding interest in inequality, the internalization of racial oppression among the racially subordinated and its contribution to the reproduction of racial inequality has been largely ignored, reflecting a taboo on the subject. Consequently, internalized racism remains one of the most neglected and misunderstood components of racism. In this article, the author argues that…

Adolescent Friendships as Academic Resources: The Intersection of Friendship, Race, and School Disadvantage

Robert Crosnoe, Shannon Cavanagh, Glen H. Elder · 1 Sep 2003

Specifically, no research has been done on whether Asian Americans perceive themselves as a model minority and how they are…

“Tuck in that Shirt!” Race, Class, Gender, and Discipline in an Urban School

Edward W. Morris · 1 Mar 2005

This article explores how schools reproduce race, class, and gender inequality through the regulation of students' bodies. Using ethnographic data from an urban school, I examine how assumptions guiding bodily discipline differed for different groups of students. First, adults at the school tended to view the behaviors of African American girls as not “ladylike” and…
