“…This limitation led Coll and colleagues (1996, p. 1892) to call upon family scholars to recognize the “importance of racism, prejudice, discrimination, oppression, and segregation on the development of minority children and families.” But even before Coll et al.’s (1996) recommendations, and likely limited due to patterns of racism within the field, HDFS scholars have produced special issues on the topic of race, child development, and family systems since the late 1970s and early 1980s (Comer, 1985; Peters, 1978) and from that point continued to do so about once per decade until recently (Leman et al., 2017; McLoyd, 1990; Quintana et al., 2006). Although slow, HDFS has increasingly heeded the call to recognize and eradicate racially oppressive assumptions, a push that HDFS scholars of color have long been advocating for (Coll et al., 1996; McLoyd & Randolph, 1984; McLoyd, 2006a, 2022; Umaña‐Taylor & Hill, 2020).…”
