Racial battle fatigue

Racial battle fatigue is a term coined in 2003 to describe the social and psychological stress responses from being an African American male on a historically White campus. It was introduced by William A. Smith, a professor in the Division of Ethnic Studies and Department of Education, Culture, and Society at the University of Utah. The framework offers a lens to better understand racial undertones of a campus environment and educational experiences for people of color, though Smith's research primarily focuses on African American men. The phenomenon builds on existing research connecting African Americans and other people of color with oppression and discrimination experienced at historically White institutions. Smith incorporates literature on combat trauma and combat stress syndrome to help understand the effects of managing a hostile environments and persistent extreme stress.
