    EXAMINING THE MEASUREMENT OF RACE AND ETHNICITY TO INFORM A MODEL OF SOCIOCULTURAL STRESS AND ADAPTIVE COPING by Rashid S. Njai A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Health Behavior and Health Education) in The University of Michigan 2008 Doctoral Committee: Professor Harold W. Neighbors, Chair Professor James S. Jackson Professor Robert M. Sellers Associate Professor Cleopatra H. Caldwell Professor David R. Williams, Harvard University “The Ink of the Scholar is worth more than the Blood of the Martyr" -Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Unto Him) © Rashid S. Njai All rights reserved 2008 DEDICATION This dissertation is dedicated to all those who have come before me and all those who will hopefully follow in the pursuit of physical, mental and spiritual freedom. This is a tribute to the countless numbers of individuals who died seemingly in vain, but are not forgotten by those of us who remember their struggle for freedom. I remember the struggles you encountered. I attempt everyday to be mindful in my life of the choice you made to fight for your freedom, in whatever way you could. I offer this humble attempt at trying to make some sense of where our people are now, because of your sacrifices. I appreciate what you were able to persevere and overcome so that I could be here and make my attempt at freedom. I have met others who acknowledge your struggles and who similarly hold deeply a responsibility to attempt to bear the fruit of your labors. I continue to seek refuge with others who intend to work the soil of our people in order to reap what you have sowed for our future.
