Racial Identities and Class Discussion in an American Slavery Seminar.

Pierson, Michael D.

Teaching History: A Journal of Methods, v23 n1 p3-11 Spr 1998

Discusses obstacles to discussion in a college class on American slavery. Observes two major problems: many white students, especially women, wanted to avoid confrontation, and many white males were defensive when there was criticism of 19th-century white males. Offers suggestions for improving the classroom atmosphere for discussion periods. (DSK)
