Critical race life course perspective theory: a framework for understanding racism over the life course

Pages 36-54 | Received 14 Jan 2017, Accepted 22 Jul 2017, Published online: 30 Nov 2017
 

Abstract

In this article, Raygine DiAquoi examines the conversations Black families have with their sons to prepare them for racial bias and discrimination. Over the course of a year, DiAquoi conducted a qualitative exploration of the content of ‘the talk,’ as this conversation has come to be known, that 17 families have with their sons about racism. An analysis of photo elicitation and standard interview data reveals a new framework for understanding the way that racism manifests over the life course of an individual: Critical Race Life Course Perspective.
