In Cross's stages of racial identity formation, the internalization stage is where an individual comes to accept their racial identity on an emotional and intellectual level. This follows the previous stages of pre-encounter (where the individual may not have consciously considered their racial identity), encounter (where they become aware of racial issues and discrimination), and immersion-emersion (where they may struggle with their identity and try to separate from dominant culture). The internalization stage is where the individual reaches a more stable sense of identity and acceptance of their racial background.
