Write a mid-term paper (no less than seven and no more than 12 pages) in which you will discuss your Racial Identity Development (RID) or White Racial Identity Development (WRID). For either RID or WRID, use the “models” that will be presented in class. The “models” are for 1. White, 2. African American, 3. American Indian, 4. Asian, 5. Latino, 6. Biracial/Multiracial, 7. Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Trans-gender (GLBT) individuals. You are expected to cite at least four sources that you used in helping you define and understand your racial identity development. You can use the bibliography information attached to the course syllabus.
This is a challenging assignment since one’s identity is a complex issue and may involve a combination of several “identities” such as White female Lesbian Feminist, or Black female Lesbian, or Gay African American male, or biracial or multiracial heritage adoptee, etc. I expect you to describe as many identities as you see fit you. These may present personal complexities which you may or may not have dealt with objectivity before. These models are intended to help you identify them and look at them with the concepts and language of contemporary RID and WRID self-definition. The purpose of the exercise is for you to understand where and/or how you learn your biases and stereotypes to different oppressed groups.
You will be using the Black Identity Development Model, I will attach the textbook pages that will help guide you to write this paper. Write in the perspective of a African American Muslim woman who grew up in a predominately white neighborhood and school. Please explain in your own words each stage of the model and write in first person, how a African American Muslim woman would go through each of those stages.
