In an American society both increasingly diverse and increasingly
segregated, the signals children receive about race are more
confusing than ever. In this context, how do children negotiate and
make meaning of multiple and conflicting messages to develop their
own ideas about race? Learning Race, Learning Place engages this
question using in-depth interviews with an economically diverse
group of African American children and their mothers. Through these
rich narratives, Erin N. Winkler seeks to reorient the way we look
at how children develop their ideas about race through the
introduction of a new framework-comprehensive racial learning-that
shows the importance of considering this process from children's
points of view and listening to their interpretations of their
experiences, which are often quite different from what the adults
around them expect or intend. At the children's prompting, Winkler
examines the roles of multiple actors and influences, including
gender, skin tone, colour-blind rhetoric, peers, family, media,
school, and, especially, place. She brings to the fore the complex
and understudied power of place, positing that while children's
racial identities and experiences are shaped by a national
construction of race, they are also specific to a particular place
that exerts both direct and indirect influence on their racial
identities and ideas.
