Book excerpt: Studying the self-esteem of African American college students attending Predominantly White Institutions (PWIs) helps us understand how African American students function in situations when their minority status is pronounced. A small number of African Americans enroll in colleges and universities, with a smaller, yet rising percentage attending PWIs (U.S. Census Bureau, 2012). This study examines the self-esteem of the small population of African American students who attend a PWI. Tinto's Theory of Student Departure and Uncertainty Reduction Theory provided a framework for the study. A survey was distributed to identify levels of self-esteem of these students, examine group membership and its relation to self-esteem, and analyze positive and negative experiences while attending a PWI. A total of 68 African American students across 22 universities participated in the study. The findings indicate self-esteem was slightly higher than normal and esteem did not significantly differ by group membership. A content analysis of responses identified 14 themes present in the experiences that update and add to our understanding of the African American experience in a PWI.

Book excerpt: From the late feminist icon and New York Times bestselling author of All About Love, an in-depth look at one of the most critical issues facing African Americans: a collective wounded self-esteem that has prevailed from slavery to the present day. “Each offering from bell hooks is a major event, as she has so much to give us.” —Maya Angelou Why do so many African-Americans—whether privileged or poor, urban or suburban, young or old—live in a state of chronic anxiety, fear, and shame? Rock My Soul: Black People and Self-Esteem breaks through collective denial and dares to tell this truth—that crippling low self-esteem has reached epidemic proportions in our lives and in our diverse communities. With visionary insight, hooks exposes the underlying reality that it has been difficult—if not impossible—for our nation to create a culture that promotes and sustains healthy self-esteem. Without self-esteem people begin to lose their sense of agency. They feel powerless. They feel they can only be victims. The need for self-esteem never goes away. But it is never too late for any of us to acquire the healthy self-esteem that is needed for a fulfilling life. hooks gets to the heart and soul of the African-American identity crisis, offering critical insight and hard-won wisdom about what it takes to heal the scars of the past, promote and maintain self-esteem, and lay down the roots for a grounded community with a prosperous future. She examines the way historical movements for racial uplift fail to sustain our quest for self-esteem. Moving beyond a discussion of race, she identifies diverse barriers keeping us from well-being: the trauma of abandonment, constant shaming, and the loss of personal integrity. In highlighting the role of desegregation, education, the absence of progressive parenting, spiritual crisis, or fundamental breakdowns in communication between black women and men, bell hooks identifies mental health as the new revolutionary frontier—and provides guidance for healing within the black community.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reports findings from the National Study of Black College Students, a comprehensive study of Black college students' characteristics, experiences, and achievements as related to student background, institutional context, and interpersonal relationships. Over 4,000 undergraduates and graduate/professional students on sixteen campuses (eight historically Black and eight predominantly White) participated in this mail survey. Using these and other data, this book systematically examines the current state of Black students in U.S. higher education. Until now, our understanding has been limited by inadequate data, misguided theories, and failure to properly interpret the Black American reality. This volume challenges our assumptions and contributes to the growing body of knowledge about Black student experiences and outcomes in higher education.

Download or read book Black Students in Higher Education written by C. Scully Stikes and published by Carbondale : Southern Illinois University Press. This book was released on 1984 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stikes describes the academic, personal, social, financial, and racial identity problems of 16 black students on predominantly white college campuses. He discusses the students’ attempts to cope, noting developmental changes that occurred as they grappled with their environment; he outlines counseling strategies, teaching processes, and focuses on the policies and practices needed to assist black students. The 16 case studies represent the spectrum of black students in higher education. Data from these cases form the basis for the construction of a model describing black student development. The model illustrates the continuous, predictable, and dynamic processes involved. From this model the impact of race and culture is illustrated, showing the qualitative and quantitative difference between black student development and student development in general. Further, the model shows the impact of role models and social factors on students.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present study examined the relationship between racial identity, self-esteem and perceived racist events among African Americans in a predominantly White Midwest city. A sample of 40 participants who self-identified as African, African American, Black or Mixed completed the Cross Racial Identity Scale, General Ethnic Discrimination, Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale and a demographic information sheet. The results suggest that most of the participants reportedly identified as the Cross Racial Identity sub-groups of Assimilation or Multiculturalist Inclusive, which are the first and final stages respectively. It appears as though those in this predominantly White Midwest city identifying with the dominant group serves as an artificial shield for perceived racist events.
