Abstract
This article explores the concept of dialectical contradictions as it relates to individual understandings of intergroup relations in the United States. The ways that working-class white youth and adults combine contradictory experience and ideology in their behavior and belief systems regarding foreign-born residents and people of color are detailed. By describing conflict and cooperation among youth from different races and nationalities, the discussion shows the relationship between the concept of dialectics and race relations as they are played out in day-to-day interactions in a Philadelphia neighborhood and Polish nationalities parish school.
