| Author: | Feagin, Joe & Skies, Melvin |
| Abstract: | African Americans are routinely subjected to subtle humiliations and overt hostility across white America. The testimony of more than 200 Black respondents shows how discrimination targets middle-class African Americans, impeding their economic and social progress, and wearying their spirit. Beyond presenting a litany of abuse, the authors argue that racism is deeply imbedded in institutions and that the cumulative effect of these episodes is profoundly damaging. They argue that discrimination is experienced by their interviewees not as separate incidents, but as a process demanding their constant vigilance and shaping their personal, professional and psychological lives. |
