The book dives into the myriad and complex ways in which child-rearing in African American families is often misunderstood, primarily as a result of the hegemonic ideologies, rooted in white supremacy, that define Black people as out of control and violent. The narrow constructions of appropriate child-rearing not only impact our assessment of African American parents but also infiltrate policy. This book unpacks clearly the linkages between these constructions of appropriate parenting and referrals to child protective services and the disproportionate impact of the child welfare system on African American families.
