Book excerpt: An anthology of poetry and music is where a family, that hustles for a living - within a culture of poverty, finds themselves faced with stereotypes and the threat that dictates responses and influences performance. Our current social makeup is a reflection of the diverse and interconnected world we live in. We are witnessing a shift towards more inclusive and accepting societies, but there is still our history. A history that has allowed the formation of institutions that perpetuate a hierarchy of privilege and oppression. There are those who are afforded systemic advantages and privileges that are denied to others. Uncle Josie, and his kind, live in a world with shrinking borders and different rules. Stereotype Threat affects them in different ways than the rest of us. We wrestle for identity and upward mobility. As we try to navigate through the Institution of Whiteness, Uncle Josie thumbs his nose at the notion.
