مستخلص: |
The article discusses the psychological tests administered to African American children by psychologists Kenneth and Mamie Clark and later cited by the U.S. Supreme Court in the 1954 case "Brown v. Board of Education" as evidence that school segregation harms the self-esteem of black children. The Clarks' test, involving childrens' perceptions of white and brown dolls, is discussed, as are changing views in social psychology over the 20th century on racial identity and self-esteem, and the deployment of these views in legal and political debates about race and society. |
