MARIAL CENTER COLLOQUIUM
Wednesday, February 11, 4 - 6 p.m. The MARIAL Center Emory West, 4th Floor, Room 415E What do middle-class blacks think about the desirability of nurturing racial identities? Many members of the black middle class routinely travel back and forth from the black world to the white world, yet we know very little about how this group conceptualizes its integration into American society. Drawing on data collected through in-depth interviews and ethnographic observation, Emory University sociologist Karyn Lacy will establish a link between an affinity for black spaces and the assimilation trajectories of middle-class blacks. The implications for the salience of black racial identities will be discussed. Lacy is
core faculty member of the MARIAL Center. Her MARIAL research
focuses on the social organization Jack & Jill,
and its role in the families of middle-class blacks.
