After reading Why Are All the Black Kids Sitting Together in the Cafeteria, discuss the realities that influence Black identity development in adolescence and the coping strategies students embrace (e.g., sitting together in the cafeteria, pursuing high academic achievement, etc.) in order to deal with stereotypes, omissions and distortions that lead to prejudice.
Moreover, Tatum says that healthy White identity development involves two major developmental tasks `abandonment of individual racism and the recognition of and opposition to institutional and cultural racism` which occur over six stages: contact, disintegration, reintegration, pseudo-independent, immersion/emersion, and autonomy? (pp 94-95). According to Tatum, how does Affirmative action hurt and help those it was targeted for: White women, and men and women of color? What suggestions and resources does she offer to encourage readers to enter into healthy, cross-racial dialogue and education?
