Аннотация:This article addresses how preadolescents produce and perform race through an ethnographic study of 8‐ to 11‐year‐old students in four fourth grade classrooms in the southeastern United States. Although Asian, Latino, and white students tended to avoid explicit talk of race, many white students constructed black students as disruptive “troublemakers.” Black students were more likely to openly discuss race and racism and used race talk to silence or isolate certain students.
