Research on experiences of gender and racial discrimination among young, racialized college women in Europe is scarce, particularly in Spain where Black women have traditionally had a minority presence in universities. As a result of processes of social mobility, these women are now occupying higher education spaces to an unprecedented extent, where they are becoming
increasingly visible. These women’s experiences of gender and racial discrimination throughout the education cycle are invisible.
The aim of this article is to explore the personal experiences of racialization and discrimination among Black female college
students in southern Spain. Twelve in-depth interviews were conducted and analysed to shed light on the experiences of
young Black female students in predominantly white educational institutions. The stories of these women show that gender and
race intersect and are constructed simultaneously through interactions with their mostly white peers. These women display
responses of significant resilience.
