A Componential Theory of Culture and Its Implications for African-American Identity.
Washington, Ernest D.
Equity and Excellence, v24 n2 p24-30 Win 1989
African-American students may experience cultural disequilibrium in American schools due to conflict between components of school culture and student racial identity. The therapeutic instructional process of cultural clarification is proposed to encourage positive self-image among Black students through peer learning, television, memorizing, imagining and pretending, art, and music.
