Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Does racial discrimination harm Black children's sense of self The Doll Test illuminated its devastating toll.Dr. Kenneth Clark visited rundown and under-resourced segregated schools across America, presenting Black children with two dolls: a white one with hair painted yellow and a brown one with hair painted black. Give me the doll you like to play with, he said. Give me the doll that is a nice doll. The psychological experiment Kenneth developed with his wife, Mamie, designed to measure how segregation affected Black children's perception of themselves and other Black people, was enlightening--and horrifying. Over and over again, the young children--some not yet five years old--selected the white doll as preferable, and the brown doll as bad. Some children even denied their race.

Board of Education case. The Clarks' decades of impassioned advocacy, their inspiring marriage, and their enduring work shines a light on the power of passion in an unjust world.…
