Explain How Cross-Racial Friendships And How It Relates To My Narrative

344 Words2 Pages

Correspondingly, Chapter 9: Conclusion (1999) also relates to my narrative as they both discuss expectancies and the consequences of having robust expectations. In her literature, McCullough (1999) examines cross-racial friendships and the complexities of these relationships. Ideas raised in McCullough (1999) literature connect directly with my narrative, since they both encompass friendships between individuals from different cultural backgrounds. McCullough (1999) describes a friendship between an African American and Caucasian individual, while my narrative encompasses a friendship between Caucasian and Indian women. Also connecting our literatures is our examination of the intersections of race and gender and their impact on relationships.
