Analyze the process by which Conley learned the dynamics of race and class through social institutions such as family and school

Topic: In this paper you are to analyze the process by which Conley learned the dynamics of
race and class through social institutions such as family and school. What are the social
practices and discourses associated with those institutions that framed race and class identity for
Conley? How did these institutional processes and the cultural knowledge they conveyed shape
Conley’s understandings of race and class? How did those institutions shape Conley’s identity
and social status? Be sure to support your assertions with evidence from the book (examples and
quotations).

Analysis. To address this question adequately, you will need to spend some time on analysis and
organization before you begin to write. You will need to identify the structures, institutions,
and practices you will focus on; examine the part each played throughout the book; and relate
them to Conley’s adult life.

Format: Typed, double-spaced, in minimum 12-pitch font, 3-7 pages.

Focus is going to be on using the book Honky by Dalton Conley, that will be the key and primary source. As the instructions from earlier state, you can use other sources, but primarily utilizing the book will be best.
