Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to investigate relationships between racial identity and gender identity in first-year African American college women attending a predominantly White university and to explore the women's views about the salience of race and gender as well as issues impacting them. The Womanist Identity Attitudes Scale (Ossana, Helms & Leonarad, 1992) was used to assess Womanist Identity Development--a stage-wise-model. The Multidimensional Inventory of Black Identity (Sellers, Rowley, Chavous, Shelton & Smith, 1997) was used to assess the ideologies of the Multidimensional Model of Racial Identity (MMRI)--a model in which there are no qualitative differences between the ideologies nor an optimal level of development. A focus group format was used to gather information for the qualitative component. Several hypotheses predicting relationships between Womanist identity development and racial identity development could not be addressed due to a lack of representation among most of the Womanist stages. An analysis of descriptive data revealed that, with the excepton of one participant, all members of the sample held Womanist Internalization attitudes. Therefore, the hypotheses relating the other three Womanist stages--Pre-encounter, Encounter, and Immersion/Emersion--with the various MMRI ideologies could not be investigated. To investigate the hypothesis predicting a relationship between the Womanist Internalization stage and the Minority Ideology, chi-square analysis was used. Chi-square analysis comparing actual and expected frequency distributions for the MIBI Ideology scale scores for participants in the Womanist Internalization stage revealed that there was no evidence to suggest that there might be a relationship between the Womanist Internalization stage and the MMRI Minority ideology. Information obtained from the focus group revealed that: (1) race is, by far, more salient than gender; (2) skin color matters; (3) prejudice, discrimination.

This book was released on 2008-06-13 with total page 521 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the twentieth century, black Greek-Letter organizations (BGLOs) united college students dedicated to excellence, fostered kinship, and uplifted African Americans. Members of these organizations include remarkable and influential individuals such as Martin Luther King Jr., Congresswoman Barbara Jordan, novelist Toni Morrison, and Wall Street pioneer Reginald F. Lewis. Despite the profound influence of these groups, many now question the continuing relevance of BGLOs, arguing that their golden age has passed. Partly because of their perceived link to hip-hop culture, black fraternities and sororities have been unfairly reduced to a media stereotype—a world of hazing without any real substance. The general public knows very little about BGLOs, and surprisingly the members themselves often do not have a thorough understanding of their history and culture or of the issues currently facing their organizations. To foster a greater engagement with the history and contributions of BGLOs, Black Greek-Letter Organizations in the Twenty-first Century: Our Fight Has Just Begun brings together an impressive group of authors to explore the contributions and continuing possibilities of BGLOs and their members. Editor Gregory S. Parks and the contributing authors provide historical context for the development of BGLOs, exploring their service activities as well as their relationships with other prominent African American institutions. The book examines BGLOs' responses to a number of contemporary issues, including non-black membership, homosexuality within BGLOs, and the perception of BGLOs as educated gangs. As illustrated by the organized response of BGLO members to the racial injustice they observed in Jena, Louisiana, these organizations still have a vital mission. Both internally and externally, BGLOs struggle to forge a relevant identity for the new century. Internally, these groups wrestle with many issues, including hazing, homophobia, petty intergroup competition, and the difficulty of bridging the divide between college and alumni members. Externally, BGLOs face the challenge of rededicating themselves to their communities and leading an aggressive campaign against modern forms of racism, sexism, and other types of fear-driven behavior. By embracing the history of these organizations and exploring their continuing viability and relevance, Black Greek-Letter Organizations in the Twenty-first Century demonstrates that BGLOs can create a positive and enduring future and that their most important work lies ahead.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A lack of knowledge exists regarding the sociocultural factors involved in African American women’s experience of body dissatisfaction. This study examined the body image attitudes of African American women through the constructs of racial socialization from family and racial identity. This study was partially exploratory in nature, as few researchers have examined the relation between racial socialization from family and body dissatisfaction. Specifically, this study examined (1) the relationships between endorsement of various racial socialization messages and body dissatisfaction (2) the relationships between racial identity attitudes and body dissatisfaction (3) the role of racial socialization messages and racial identity attitudes in the prediction of body dissatisfaction (4) racial identity attitudes as mediators of the relationship between racial socialization messages and body dissatisfaction. Participants included 187 African American women. The majority of the population was recruited from a large, southwestern, predominantly White university. With regard to racial socialization, results did not support a significant relationship between Protective messages and body dissatisfaction, Coping messages and body dissatisfaction, and Affirmation messages and body dissatisfaction. However, Stereotyping messages were found to be significant and positively related to body dissatisfaction. Results revealed that among racial identity attitudes Pre-Encounter Self-Hatred was significantly and positively related to body dissatisfaction. Findings did not support significant relationships between Pre-Encounter Assimilation, Pre-Encounter Miseducation, Immersion-Emersion Anti-White, Internalization Afrocentric, Internalization Multicultural Inclusive racial identity attitudes and body dissatisfaction. Additionally, Stereotyping messages and Pre-Encounter Self-Hatred were predictive of body dissatisfaction among this sample of African American women. Finally, Pre-Encounter Self-Hatred racial identity attitudes mediated the relationship between Stereotyping messages and body dissatisfaction. Theoretical and practical implications of these findings are discussed.

This book was released on 2017 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: African American women have poorer pregnancy outcomes than other groups in the U.S., and this disparity is not fully understood. Preconceptional health status, including obesity, influences pregnancy outcomes, and chronic stress may increase obesity via Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA) axis dysfunction. Racial discrimination (RD) as a chronic stressor may contribute to obesity; however racial identity attitudes may reduce negative health effects of race-related stress. This cross-sectional study investigated relationships among three manifestations of interpersonal RD (overt, microaggressions and vicarious), explicit and implicit racial identity attitudes, and objective measures of obesity in 136 collegiate African American women aged 18 to 25 years. Participants were recruited using multiple methods. Correlations and multiple regression were used to answer research questions. Microaggressions explained variance in obesity and central adiposity, with obesity measures increasing as microaggressions rose. Overt RD also explained variance in obesity measures, but inverse relationships were observed. Private regard was significantly inversely correlated with both obesity and central adiposity, and ethnic identity was significantly inversely correlated with waist circumference. Interactions between public regard, centrality, implicit racial identity and all three RD measures explained variance in obesity and central adiposity. A secondary aim was to assess the acceptability of assessing Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA) axis functioning through the use of cortisol derived from hair samples. Few hair cortisol studies to date have included African American participants, and most have focused on older populations. Participants who accepted and declined hair sampling described their reasons via an open-ended written survey question. Seventy-one women (52%) took part in hair sampling.
