Accommodation+strategies


 * Accommodation strategies **

1. Nonassertive – “emphasizes blending into the dominant culture but tactfully challenging the dominant structure to recognize co-cultural practices.” (Martin; Nakayama, 2010) 2. Assertive – “Tries to strike a balance between the concerns of co-culture and dominant group members. These strategies involve communicating self, during intragroup networking using liaisons, and educating others.” (Martin; Nakayama, 2010) 3. Aggressive – “involve moving into the dominant structures and then working from within to promote significant changes – no matter how high the personal cost. Although it may seem as if co-cultural workers who use these strategies are confrontational or self-promoting, they also reflect a genuine desire to work with and not against dominant group workers” (Martin; Nakayama, 2010)
