In her national bestseller, "Why Are All The Black Kids Sitting Together
in the Cafeteria?" Dr. Beverly Daniel Tatum argues that "racial clumping"
for most students of color "is a process of establishing and affirming
their racial identity through positive interactions."
******************************************************************
Questions for Discussion:
- What is "self-segregation?"
- Is "racial clumping" a better term? What does it mean?
- What are the benefits and disadvantages of racial clumping?
- Does racial clumping affect the majority? In what ways?
- Is racial clumping occurring at Dartmouth? How should we address it?
- Do individuals racially clump 24/7? Is it possible to racially clump 24/7?
