anti-racist mothering  

Definition

  • Anti-racist mothering is an approach to childrearing used to combat the racial oppression of children by imparting in them a healthy self-esteem, a positive sense of racial/cultural identity, an awareness of societal racism, and strategies for resisting racism. Mothers employ this practice to help their children survive and prosper emotionally, psychologically, and physically despite any racial bias they encounter.
