Description
Summary:This current study relies on in-depth interviews with 16 Black men to explore their experiences attending a Hispanic-Serving Institution in the Southwest region of the U.S. In discussing their experiences, the students identified antiblackness as a reality that accosted them personally and confronted them in their college years. In particular, they articulate what can be understood as gendered-antiblackness given that much of what they experienced hinged on their racialized-gendered identities. The findings detail the men's sensemaking of how Black men are (re)positioned on campus, including the ways their identities matter in how they experience campus life, navigate the campus, and think about themselves and their educational efforts. These findings contribute to understanding how institutional environment impacts collegiate Black men's experiences, sense of self, and educational pursuits.
