Abstract | This article seeks to examine Black male bonding at a predominantly White university. Prior research suggests that Black students seek social connections with other Black students as a means for negating the discomforts of racial alienation. However, these friendships are not always sought solely in response to difficulties integrating into White environments or combatting stereotypes. The authors emphasize emotional and social causes to explain the bonds Black men wished to create as they left the familiarity of home and moved on to the new environment of college. The authors find that these men sought these relationships because they lacked friends, wished to recreate family and family-like relationships, and wanted to associate with successful Black male peers.
