Tóm tắt

Các nhà nghiên cứu đã bắt đầu xem xét cách thức mà sự tiếp xúc với bạo lực chủng tộc gián tiếp ảnh hưởng đến quá trình căng thẳng và ứng phó của các gia đình người Da Đen ở Hoa Kỳ. Tuy nhiên, ít nhà nghiên cứu xem xét tầm quan trọng của nỗi đau chủng tộc như một thành phần trong quá trình ứng phó. Nghiên cứu hiện tại dựa trên dữ liệu phỏng vấn bán cấu trúc từ 31 bà mẹ người Da Đen ở Hoa Kỳ (25–52 tuổi; trung bình 35 tuổi) để khám phá cách mà các bà mẹ xử lý và phản ứng trước bạo lực chủng tộc chống Đen gián tiếp. Chúng tôi đã sử dụng các phương pháp nghiên cứu định tính đồng thuận và xác định các chủ đề sau: (a) nhận thức về bản chất tràn lan của bạo lực chủng tộc, (b) cảm giác bị đông cứng trong nỗi sợ hãi sau một trường hợp bạo lực chủng tộc mới, và (c) chuyển hóa nỗi đau thành lòng bất bình như một con đường đến công lý chủng tộc. Các phát hiện đặt trong bối cảnh những lo ngại của các bà mẹ người Đen về bạo lực chủng tộc mà họ và con cái có thể trải qua trong suốt cuộc đời, và cách mà họ chuyển hóa nỗi đau này thành hành động chống lại sự bất công chủng tộc. Tác giả thảo luận về những cách tiếp cận dựa trên sức mạnh để định hình vai trò của nỗi đau và mất mát trong bối cảnh chủng tộc.
