African American Maternal Power and the Racial Socialization of Preschool Children

Ethnic–Racial Socialization in the Family: A Decade's Advance on Precursors and Outcomes

“…In addition, the collection of studies was characterized by samples that provided a wide representation of geographic regions of the United States. For example, studies included samples that represented the West (e.g., Hernández et al, ; Liu & Lau, ), Southwest (e.g., Ayón, Ojeda, & Ruano, ; Derlan, Umaña‐Taylor, Updegraff, & Jahromi, ), Midwest (e.g., Paasch‐Anderson & Lamborn, ; Yoon et al, ), Northeast (e.g., Calzada, Huang, Anicama, Fernandez, & Brotman, ; Peck, Brodish, Malanchuk, Banerjee, & Eccles, ), and the Southeast (e.g., Edwards & Few‐Demo, ; Kulish et al, ). Furthermore, several studies included participants from all regions of the United States by relying on internet‐based sampling (e.g., Juang, Shen, Kim, & Wang, ; Mohanty, ) or extant nationally representative secondary data sources (e.g., Banerjee et al, ; Csizmadia, Rollins, & Kaneakua, ).…”

The Central Roles of Race and Racism in Reframing Family Systems Theory: A Consideration of Choice and Time

“…Tenets of racial socialization. Although more recent RES research has addressed how these processes unfold in other ethnic-racial minority families (e.g., Native American, European American, immigrant Latino; Hughes & Chen, 1997;Hughes, Witherspoon, Rivas-Drake, & West-bey, 2009;Tynes, 2007), how these processes work in African American families has been studied more extensively (Boykin & Toms, 1985;Edwards & Few-Demo, 2016;Lesane-Brown, 2006). The tenets described here are based on the preponderance of RES research focused on African American youth and families.…”

The Color of Love: Racial Features, Stigma and Socialization of Black Brazilian Families

“…Concurrent with the 2016 Summer Olympics broadcast, I cannot ignore the televised gun violence of police toward Black American males or fail to see the relationship between racial socialization and Black Americans. Racial socialization has been researched from preschool to young adulthood (Edwards & Few‐Demo, ; Elliot & Aseltine, ) and analyzed as parents “negotiate power and powerlessness in the … racial socialization process of their young children” (Edwards & Few‐Demo, , p. 56). Racial socialization may be just as important in Brazil as it is the United States, and perhaps just as detrimental.…”

“…However, two additional facets family researchers must especially take note of are the role and importance of the family unit in transmitting, receiving, and constructing racialization processes and individuals' understanding of race and racism from within multiple familial, kin, and community relationships. Racial socialization has been researched from the perspective of parent–child messaging of inter‐ and intragroup dynamics (Edwards & Few‐Demo, ; Elliott & Aseltine, ). This ethnographic study, though, illustrates the role and importance of familial racialization practices and through extension the family, extended kin, and neighbors.…”
