Caring Masculinities and Race: On Racialized Workers and “New Fathers”

Abstract: Karla Elliott defines caring masculinities as both embracing care and rejecting domination. Most work within critical studies on men and masculinities that engages with masculinities and care focuses on care yet sidelines non-domination. In order for caring masculinities to not be/come a “white” concept, this article argues for a broad grounding of caring masculinities in a rejection of all forms of domination and starts with race. Bringing research on the international division of reproductive labor together … Show more

“…What is key to understand then, is how care emerges through a neo-colonial capitalist sexual division of labor that can come to augment patriarchal, colonial, and heteronormative relations. Prattes (2022), as one of the few scholars to engage with race and coloniality in men's caregiving, argues Elliott's emphasis on "non-domination," must extend beyond gender to engage with multiple intersecting inequalities. She identifies how "coloniality and racial systems of oppression remain anchoring points in many narratives of gender-equal 'progress'" (726).…”

“…This is evident not only in the transnational migration of doctors, nurses, caregivers, and other healthcare service providers, but also in the circulation and "flows" of knowledge, technologies, human and non-human matter around the globe. Caring masculinities cannot be abstracted out from these "uneven" postcolonial interdependencies, to do so whitens the concept (Prattes, 2022). Instead, decolonizing care puts race inequalities at the heart of these interrelations, globally situating our everyday "carescapes."…”

“…And while there is some understanding of ‘negative attitudes’ as a problem, exoticisation and reflections on graduations of ‘threat’ are normalised rather than recognised as dehumanising. This framing is part of the racialisation of ‘Others’ who are positioned as suitable for care and domestic work in this specific context (see Prattes [2022] who discusses this in relation to masculinities) – but also the expression of a wider disavowal of Germany’s colonial legacies. ‘Coming to terms with being the perpetrators of antisemitic genocide’, as Lentin (2020, p. 71) notes, has gone ‘hand in hand with a denial of the coterminousness of the Holocaust and colonial rule’.…”
