Afro-Dominican Ethno-Racial Narratives at a Predominantly White Institution
Amarilis Francis
ProQuest LLC, Ed.D. Dissertation, Northeastern University
This study examined the ethno-racial triangulations of second-generation Afro-Dominican college students while adapting to their perceived racial climate at a predominantly White institution. Nine U.S-born, bilingual, and bicultural participants provided testimonios on their racialized experiences using a narrative methodology. Three major themes emerged from participant data: pre-college development of racial self-image, environmental triggers in predominantly White campus experiences, evolving ethno-racial and Afro-Latinx identity. Latino Critical Theory (LatCrit) informed findings in this study suggested that participants' pre-college cultural socialization, and perceived experiences of racial mismatch, microaggressions, and discrimination on campus acted as environmental triggers in their ethno-racial identity development. Coping strategies to combat an unwelcoming campus racial culture and preserve their sense of ethnic identity included culture-switching, intentional selection of social groups, and designating of safe spaces on campus. This work also provided recommendations for future practice and research. [The dissertation citations contained here are published with the permission of ProQuest LLC.
