Description
The Phinney Model of Racial-ethnic Identity development dominates the discourse on racial-ethnic identity development. However, it falls short in being able to explicate the identity dynamics of youth who participate in the black lives matters social movement. Nigrescence Theory better explicates social movement participation. In this workshop we will deconstruct both approaches to determine which model better predicts identity praxis – that is the translation of identity into social action.
