This thesis examines the relationship between the physical structure of the University of Mississippi campus and African American students, and investigates the creation of “counter-publics.” This thesis analyzes works in critical race theory, higher education, and social geography to argue that the “whiteness” of the University of Mississippi campus creates social and educational barriers for African American students.
