With the increased frequency of highly publicized racism in the United States, the engagement of racial socialization among Black emerging adults and their peers is critical for navigating their racial experiences and organizing for change as evident in social movements led by young adults (e.g., Black Lives Matter). However, little is known about the process of peer racial socialization and its relation to sociopolitical development. In this study, we qualitatively explored these processes with 35 Black undergraduates attending a predominantly white institution. Two peer racial socialization themes associated with sociopolitical development emerged: Political Division and Media. An additional theme, Culture as a Form of Resistance, highlighted the relationship between peer racial socialization and coping with racism. Implications for further exploration of non-traditional forms of activism and the creation of safe spaces for Black college students are discussed.

随着美国高度宣传种族主义的频率增加，黑人新兴成年人及其同龄人参与种族社会化对于驾驭他们的种族经历和组织变革至关重要，这在年轻人领导的社会运动中很明显（例如，黑人生活事情）。然而，对同龄人种族社会化的过程及其与社会政治发展的关系知之甚少。在这项研究中，我们与 35 名就读于以白人为主的机构的黑人本科生一起定性地探索了这些过程。出现了与社会政治发展相关的两个同龄人种族社会化主题：政治分裂和媒体。另一个主题“文化作为一种​​抵抗形式”强调了同辈种族社会化与应对种族主义之间的关系。
