This chapter delineates three processes—ethnic-racial discrimination, socialization, and identity—through which race and ethnicity can inform moral development. These three processes reflect important ways in which race and ethnicity make their way into the daily experiences, thoughts, and feelings of youth. The authors first discuss how youth experience and respond to marginalization and unfair treatment (discrimination).

The chapter concludes with directions for future research.Read More
