Sewell, Abigail A. and David R. Heise. in press. "Racial Differences in Sentiments: Exploring Variant Culture Theory". International Journal of Intercultural Relations: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.ijintrel.2010.03.001
The pervasiveness of Black–White differences in attitudes and beliefs suggest a variant Black culture is co-present with White culture. Using a data set from the 1970s, we assess whether a variant Black culture existed contemporaneously at that time. Results reveal distinct sentiment norms among Blacks and Whites about a range of concepts, comparable in magnitude to inter-nation variations. We discuss ways that Black culture manifested itself and consider methodological challenges in studying Black culture.
