This study explored the relationship of racial/ethnic labels to racial socialization and racial identity in a sample of 123 college students of African descent. Logistic regression analyses revealed that individuals self-labeling as African American reported more racial socialization experiences emphasizing cultural survival than those who self-labeled as West Indian/Caribbean, African, or Black. The self-label Black was not associated with racial socialization and was negatively associated with an Afrocentric racial identity.

Key Words: African American • West Indian • Caribbean • Afrocentricity • racial identity • racial socialization • ethnic labels
