This privileged group is the white male, whose culture permeates into all other cultures, subtly altering and eliciting behavior to conform to the white male’s norms.

Stride: Discourse and Race in Baltimore A Baltimore Program called Stride, nestled within the Center for Urban Families, seeks to support urban communities around employment and parenthood, predominantly fathers and ex-prisoners. I’ll be using Foucault and Racial Formation Theory as a lens to determine how power is at work within this program and at large, as well as their boundaries these theories may have. Understanding Programs like Stride and their effects on communities of color, primarily…

She explains how the Europeans tore down the infrastructure American Indians had built: their religion, culture, language, material items, and replaced them with Christian ideals with the mission efforts to “civilize” a group of people who were arguably more civilized than the Europeans who stole their land and annihilated almost all indigenous peoples.
