When a researcher who belongs to the dominant white western society engages in research with members of a nondominant racial group, she often experiences a profound transition into understanding the meaning of personal and societal racism. What happens when the fieldwork is on the other side of town and the researcher must move back and forth between a middle class white world and a poor black neighborhood? As the researcher becomes more involved with her research group, the meaning of "home" becomes lost as the researcher inevitably struggles with the significance of white privilege and the consequences of the racism this privilege serves to perpetuate.
