The Story between the Lines: A Thematic Discussion of the Experience of Racism.

Watt, Sherry K.

Journal of Counseling & Development, v77 n1 p54-61 Win 1999

What is racism? A thematic analysis of seventeen narrative accounts in this issue of personal experiences with racism is reported. Specific themes are discussed within conceptual categories of systematic oppression, grieving, awakening of critical consciousness, coping mechanisms, and power. Racism is deconstructed through these stories; new paths are opened. (Author/EMK)
