Walk into any racially mixed high school and you will see Black, White, and Latino youth clustered in their own groups. Is this self-segregation a problem to address or a coping strategy?
Dr. Tatum, a renowned authority on the psychology of racism, argues that straight talk about our racial identities is essential if we are serious about enabling communication across racial and ethnic divides.
First published in 1997, Why Are All the Black Kids Sitting Together in the Cafeteria? was fully revised in 2017 and hit the bestseller list again.
