This paper presents findings from a micro-ethnographic study of black ESL students from the community of Florencio, Orocovis, Puerto Rico. Social inequalities identified included negative labeling, isolation due to race resulting in the practice of intermarriage, virtually no access to government services, low level of living, and few work opportunities. Educational inequalities included negative labeling by school personnel and students and perceptions of rejection and unfair treatment by teachers. The labels functioned as subtle, covert, and latent racism curtailing and controlling the possibilities of social and educational opportunities. Suggestions are made for changing racial attitudes and creating environments of well-being. |
