Using analyses of written sources with statistical modeling of
survey data, Daniel H. Krymkowski documents the extent and causes
of African American underrepresentation in the cultural realms of
golf, hiking, hunting and fishing, water sports, winter sports,
classical music, painting and sculpture, ballet, and the theater.
African American participation significantly lags behind that of
non-Hispanic whites in all of these areas, and it is not due to an
aversion to these types of activities. Rather, as Krymkowski shows,
its primary sources are racial-ethnic socioeconomic differences, as
well as historic and contemporary discrimination, both overt and
subtle. These causes are rooted in the systemic racism that
continues to plague the United States. The lack of opportunity to
participate in such cultural forms deprives African Americans of
aesthetic experiences that are central to the human condition, and
it has implications for both health and the accumulation of
cultural and social capital. Krymkowski also explores current
efforts to increase African American representation in these areas
of culture and analyzing the benefits of increased representation
in these areas.
