The Shifting Salience of Skin Color for Educational Attainment Presented: Philadelphia PA, American Sociological Association Annual Meeting, August 2018 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: American Sociological Association Keyword(s): Educational Attainment; Gender Differences; Intergenerational Patterns/Transmission; Skin Tone Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Whereas findings of an association between skin color and educational attainment have been fairly consistent among Americans born in the 1960s and earlier, little is known regarding the persistence of this relationship among Americans born after the Civil Rights era. Here we address that question, asking whether the association between skin color and educational attainment has changed between black American Baby Boomers (the CARDIA Study) and black American Millennials (the NLSY97). We find that this association has seen a modest and non-significant decline among black men between the two cohorts, while it has declined to near-zero among black women net of parental socioeconomic status. Results emphasize the need to conceptualize colorism as an intersectional problem, varying by both race and also gender, and highlight the importance of temporal context for understanding the social salience of the physical body. |

The Shifting Salience of Skin Color for Educational Attainment Socius: Sociological Research for a Dynamic World published online (19 December 2019): DOI: 10.1177/2378023119889829. Also: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/2378023119889829 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Sage Publications Keyword(s): Black Studies; Educational Attainment; Gender Differences; Skin Tone Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Findings of an association between skin color and educational attainment have been fairly consistent among Americans born before the civil rights era, but little is known regarding the persistence of this relationship in later born cohorts. The authors ask whether the association between skin color and educational attainment has changed between black American baby boomers and millennials. The authors observe a large and statistically significant decline in the association between skin color and educational attainment between baby boomer and millennial black women, whereas the decline in this association between the two cohorts of black men is smaller and nonsignificant. Compared with baby boomers, a greater percentage of the association between skin color and educational attainment among black millennials appears to reflect educational disparities in previous generations. These results emphasize the need to conceptualize colorism as an intersectional problem and suggest caution when generalizing evidence of colorism in earlier cohorts to young adults today. |
