Abstract

This ethnographic study examines the experiences of race-based intergenerational legacies of violence toward students of color in the U.S. K-12 classrooms. Grounded on ethnographic observations and interviews, it reveals that students of color were criminalized by both their White teachers and White peers through processes of domination including, interrogating and surveillance, threatening, and labeling. These dehumanizing and criminalizing practices were passed down from White teachers to their White students who assumed privileges to instigate policing against their peers of color.
