ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

W e are grateful for the cooperation of many people who gave us their time, attention, and respect while we were developing this research. Most of all, we are indebted to the children who embraced and accepted the first author (Debra Van Ausdale) as part of their daily lives. Without their willingness to include her, none of the insights we have gained through this project would have been possible. We are also thankful to the teachers, parents, and administrators at the day care center and to our many colleagues who offered us understanding and support as we did this research and wrote this manuscript.

Any list of those who have been helpful and supportive is necessarily incomplete, but we would like to give special thanks to Hernan Vera, Karen Pyke, Diana Kendall, Barrie Thorne, Bernice Barnet, Nijole Benokraitis, Karyn McKinney, Kendall Broad, and Jessie Daniels for assistance in various ways, including comments on drafts of the manuscript. Marjorie DeVault and Gary Spencer provided special insight and support for the continued development of the ideas in this book. We would also like to thank our editor, Dean Birkenkamp, for his endless support, enthusiasm, and patience.

Watching little children indulge in hateful rhetoric and hurtful interracial activity was the hardest thing Debi had ever done, and there were many occasions when she wanted nothing more than to leave the field to cry. Yet watching them grow in understanding themselves and others was a constant source of wonderment. We have learned much about the social world from them.

ABOUT THE AUTHORS

Debra Van Ausdale was born in 1954 and received her Ph.D. in sociology from the University of Florida in 1996. She is currently assistant professor of sociology at Syracuse University, where her research interests continue to center on children and racism. She is also conducting ethnographic research on the American motorcycling community.

Joe R. Feagin is currently graduate research professor in sociology at the University of Florida. He mainly does research on a variety of issues connected to racism and sexism. Among his many books are Racial and Ethnic Relations , 6th ed. (1999, with Clairece Booher Feagin); Living with Racism: The Black Middle Class Experience (1994, with Mel Sikes); White Racism: The Basics (1995, with Hernan Vera); Double Burden: Black Women and Everyday Racism (1998, with Yanick St. Jean); The Agony of Education: Black Students at White Colleges and Universities (1996, with Hernan Vera and Nikitah Imani); and The New Urban Paradigm (1998). An earlier book with Harlan Hahn, Ghetto Revolts (1973), was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize, and Living with Racism and White Racism have won the Gustavus Myers Centers Outstanding Human Rights Book Award. He is a recent president of the American Sociological Association.
