In order to expand conventional thinking of these processes of becoming part of American society, emphasis is also placed on systems that perpetuate racial oppression, racial hierarchy (stratification), and theories of race that ascribe to both the histories and contemporary inequalities that shape life chances and opportunities for racial and ethnic groups in the US.
