Robert Moore, whose African American identity today may be
questioned by some because of his very light skin color, grew up in
an all-white suburb of Philadelphia in the 1960s when the push to
assimilate was blatant. An examination of the life experiences of
people sometimes felt to be at the perimeter, serves to point out
that the racial categories of White and Black in America remain
strong and impenetrable. The book spans nearly fifty years
beginning in the author's youth to a contemporary period when he is
a sociology teacher in a university classroom.
Including the work of nearly 20 authors from institutions such as
American University, Memphis University, University of North
Carolina, and Georgia State University, this essay collection
explores the changing relationship between African Americans and
whites on U.S. College and University campuses. These essays
investigate and chronicle the tension and social distance felt
between African Americans and whites in today's higher-education
community. Many facets of the educational experience are examined
including student-to-student contact, affinity group formation,
Greek life, and the perceived effectiveness of courses on race
taught by non-minorities. Although designed as supplemental reading
for undergraduate and graduate students, and experts in the field,
each chapter in African Americans and Whites includes three or four
provocative questions suitable for classroom discussions.
