The Black Caucus of the Society for Research in Child Development
(SRCD) was founded in 1973 to address concerns about the portrayal
of Black children in scientific research, the lack of participation
of ethnic minority members in the governance structure of SRCD, and
the perceived need for a mutual support system for minority
scholars aspiring to productive careers in the child development
field. In this monograph, early members of the Caucus describe its
history through the first 25 years, 1973-97, in 15 chapters
distributed among sections on Caucus history, teaching and
mentoring, publications and research-related issues, and supportive
academic institutions. The volume celebrates the accomplishments of
the Caucus while also revisiting challenges that have arisen both
internally and through membership in the SRCD parent organization.
Key thematic issues include: cultural deficit versus cultural
difference; linkages between poverty, race, and empowerment;
advocacy versus objectivity in scientific research; and how the
cultural or racial identity of the researcher informs scientific
knowledge.
The collaborations of Caucus members and others in SRCD modified
the lens through which children of racially and ethnically diverse
backgrounds are portrayed in the scientific literature.
