Racial battle fatigue and activist burnout in racial justice activists of color at predominantly White colleges and universities

Paul C. Gorski, Race Ethnicity and Education (2018)

“Activist burnout scholarship has inadequately considered challenges marginalized-identity activists, such as racial justice activists of color, experience in the course of their activism – challenges from which privileged identity activists, such as white racial justice activists, are protected. This article attempts to address this gap through a phenomenological study examining activist burnout in racial justice activists of color whose primary sites of activism are predominantly white colleges and universities in the United States at which they work.”
