The Implications of a Colonized Mindset in Today’s Education System
Abstract
In my dissertation, I interviewed four black principals to gain a deeper understanding of how each of them grapples with the tension of living and working as a black person in a white-dominated education system. Using two tenets of Critical Race Theory as well as the backdrop of double consciousness, I found that each principal displayed evidence of a colonized mindset but at varying degrees of self awareness. I will discuss how insidious the colonized mindset can be leading to uncertain futures for people of color.
