Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: Despite the shift that saw black students become a prominent part of the social and academic landscape of college campuses, fifty years after integrated higher education, Black students are present, yet silent. Although educational research has long been concerned with issues of race and inequality as measured by standardized test scores and grades, this data does not explain racial inequality in terms of process. In other words, as a research community, we are clear that racial gaps exist, but less clear about how they are constituted and produced. Fifty years after the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas case that proclaimed separate educational facilities were unequal, Black students still face worlds of continuing educational inequity and are still struggling to construct a social, political, and academic identity that transcends deficit notions of race. Addressing these issues requires an understanding of local contexts and experiential aspects of group membership. Thus, in this paper, I draw on qualitative methods, Bourdieu’s notion of cultural capital, symbolic capital and Omi and Winant’s notion of racial discourse to consider the labels and cultural markers that serve as mechanisms through which racial and educational inequality is reproduced, negotiated and challenged. Through interview data collected from college students at two small liberal arts colleges, we learn about racial practices operating in the college settings; how race shapes their college experiences, identities and outcomes.
