1 Naivete/embedded awareness of self as cultural being
|
hardly aware of self as cultural being. E.g. skin color not important to kids.
|
|
|
2 Encounter with reality of cultural issues
|
Experience shows naivete was inadequate. “It’s diff to be African American that White”
|
|
|
3 Naming of cultural issues
|
Naming “sexism” transformed women’s view of selves.
May refuse to work with oppressors (usually Euro White Males) For Whites, name phase hard: whites have no sense of positive ID (this may be one of the biggest problems in our culture. The bulk of us have forgotten who we are). |
|
|
4 Reflection on meaning of self as cultural being
|
May turn away from White culture, become immersed in reflection on African American history and Black community. This is where a definite cultural consciousness is established.

|
|
5 Some form of internalization and multiperspective thought about self-in-system
|
Pride in awareness of self and others
Sees worth of some aspects of dominant culture, fights the racist/oppressive elements. Integrates all previous stages in transcendent consciousness. Sees world thru multiple frames of reference. Makes action in racist society difficult Exhausting |
