Quote :"Whose Culture Has Capital? A Critical Race Theory Discussion of Community Cultural Wealth"
Community cultural wealth is an array of knowledge, skills, abilities and contacts possessed and utilized by Communities of Color to survive and resist macro and micro-forms of oppression.
Community cultural wealth is the specific skills, abilities, and knowledge of a certain ethnic community. This "wealth" is used by members of minority ethnic groups to survive in mainstream white American culture, where they often have to deal with discrimination and racism.
"Community cultural wealth" is a way of theorizing how members of ethnic minority groups deal with mainstream culture. It reminds us that wealth isn't just about having money (although of course that helps, too). Wealth is also about having an awesome family and community that supports you in what you do. Community cultural wealth is a concept that points to how resilient ethnic minority groups are. They're not just victims; they fight and they survive, despite the obstacles—like racism—in their way.
