From a Committed Achiever to a Radical Social Scientist: The Life Course Dialectics of a "Marginal" Black American Sociologist.

Cazenave, Noel A.

American Sociologist, v19 n4 p347-54 Win 1988

A Black U.S. sociologist views the issue of marginality in early socialization and career development. Analyzes his life experiences to provide data through which a dialectical model of marginalization and human development can be constructed. Concludes that emphasis upon either marginality or mainstreaming is a function of the complex interaction of life course. (KO)
