Content: One
 
prominent
 
example
 
is
 
the
 
Aboriginal
 
communities
 
of
 
Australia
 
that
 
were
 
excluded
 
from
 
society
 
and
 
pushed
 
farther
 
and
 
farther
 
away
 
from
 
their
 
homelands
 
as
 
cities
 
grew. The
 
marginalization
 
of
 
Aborigines
 
happened
 
when
 
society
 
met
 
the
 
needs
 
of
 
white
 
people
 
and
 
not
 
the
 
needs
 
of
 
the
 
marginalized
 
themselves. Thus,
 
marginalization
 
is
 
closely
 
linked
 
to
 
the
 
idea
 
of
 
whiteness. In
 
the
 
U.S.,
 
most
 
marginalized
 
groups
 
are
 
racially
 
marked. Yet,
 
this
 
racial
 
exclusion
 
also
 
occurs
 
in
 
countries
 
outside
 
the
 
U.S.—Blacks
 
or
 
Indians
 
in
 
Latin
 
America,
 
and
 
Blacks,
 
East
 
Indians,
 
and
 
Eastern
 
Europeans,
 
or
 
North
 
Africans
 
in
 
Europe. Yet,
 
marginalization
 
is
 
by
 
no
 
means
 
the
 
fate
 
only
 
of
 
racially
 
marked
 
people. In
 
the
 
United
 
States
 
a
 
shamefully
 
large
 
proportion
 
of
 
the
 
population
 
is
 
marginal: elderly
 
people
 
who
 
are
 
fired
 
from
 
their
 
jobs; young
 
Blacks
 
or
 
Latinos
 
who
 
cannot
 
find
 
their
 
first
 
or
 
second
 
jobs; many
 
single
 
mothers
 
and
 
their
 
children;
