审视高等教育中的后种族意识形态
作者：
Lorenzo Baber
在本章中，作者探讨了后种族意识形态和高等教育中的排斥做法之间的联系。后种族主义者认为，高等教育中具有种族意识的做法和政策已经不再必要，因为社会中的种族进步已经取得了重大进展。与此相反，作者认为后种族主义扩展了高等教育的一个重要传统，即从看似客观的立场为文化主导群体调解自私的意识形态。在介绍了白色特权对高等教育政策和实践的历史影响之后，作者概述了当前高等教育中后种族主义的两个例子--种族意识招生政策的持续退缩和种族中立、普遍主义的知识观的持续存在。鉴于美国中学后教育机会的持续种族分层，对教育公平和正义感兴趣的学者和政策制定者来说，对后种族主义的争论至关重要。
In this chapter, the author explores connections between post-racial ideology and exclusionary practices in higher education. Post-racialists contend that race-conscious practices and policies in higher education are no longer necessary because of significant racial progress in society. In contrast, the author argues that post-racialism extends a key tradition of higher education—the mediation of self-serving ideology for the culturally dominant group from seemingly objective stances. After presenting the historical influence of White privilege on higher education policies and practices, the author outlines two current examples of post-racialism in postsecondary education—the continued retreatment from race-conscious admissions policies and the persistence of race-neutral, universalist perspectives of knowledge. In light of continuing racial stratification for postsecondary opportunities in the United States, contesting post-racialism is critical for scholars and policy makers interested in educational equity and justice.
