This study addresses the ways in which African American parents help their children negotiate the unique and specific barriers that obstruct their path to college choice. Two sociological theories of capital (social and cultural) were used as a theoretical lens to understand how these parents were able to resist the forces that worked to complicate college choice for people of African descent. Additionally, Black Feminist Thought was invoked to explore the ways in which single Black female parents resisted racism, classism, and sexism to help their children choose the right colleges. A qualitative methodology was employed to examine the college choice participation of 39 African American parents from within and without the Los Angeles metropolitan area. By conducting semi-structured, open-ended interviews and focus groups then using a constant comparative method of data analysis employing open and axial coding, several key themes about parent involvement in college choice emerged.

520 $a This study addresses the ways in which African American parents help their children negotiate the unique and specific barriers that obstruct their path to college choice. Two sociological theories of capital (social and cultural) were used as a theoretical lens to understand how these parents were able to resist the forces that worked to complicate college choice for people of African descent. Additionally, Black Feminist Thought was invoked to explore the ways in which single Black female parents resisted racism, classism, and sexism to help their children choose the right colleges. A qualitative methodology was employed to examine the college choice participation of 39 African American parents from within and without the Los Angeles metropolitan area. By conducting semi-structured, open-ended interviews and focus groups then using a constant comparative method of data analysis employing open and axial coding, several key themes about parent involvement in college choice emerged.
520 $a First, how social and cultural capital were used was more important than how much was possessed. The study showed that both forms of capital intermingled and were converted through a social-cultural capital matrix. Secondly, the parents used a unique form of cultural capital, African American cultural capital, a form that was shaped by history and privileged caring above academic reputation and prestige. Thirdly, Black parents were influenced by the cumulative experience of Africans in America including slavery, reconstruction, Jim Crow, Civil Rights, and Black Power. A fourth theme uncovered the impact of single parent families; and a fifth theme illustrated how such families rely on extra-high school college outreach organizations to fill in college knowledge gaps. The sixth and final theme explored the importance of cognizance of a larger social struggle in how these parents guided their children. Parents often urged their children to take advantage of educational opportunities not always afforded to their African American ancestors.
