Shaped by Antiblackness: Black Undergraduates' Experiences of Antiblackness at a Historically and Predominantly White Institution
International Journal of Qualitative Studies in Education (QSE), v38 n4 p588-603 2025
Black suffering at historically and predominantly white institutions cannot be analogized with other racially minoritized groups. By drawing upon insights from Black Critical Theory (BlackCrit), this study elucidates how antiblackness as a distinct form of racism manifests in Black undergraduates' lives. This study is guided by an instrumental case study approach which serves to contextualize Black students' experiences within a site of antiblackness. Participants indicated that antiblackness shaped their experiences through the following themes: (a) antiblackness as endemic, (b) antiblackness as objectification, and (c) antiblackness as inherently uneducable.
