I Know It in My Knower: Testaments of Spirituality Within Critical Race Mothering
摘要
The purpose of this research is to discuss how spirituality is ever-present in Black mother scholarship via a tenet of critical race mothering, an emerging conduit to share mothers’ experiences as they navigate a racialized world. Three autoethnographic counternarratives explore spirituality and depict how critical race mothering can be a vehicle to understand, process, and confront racialized injustices. Critical race mothering validates spiritual identity as a powerful asset and implications highlight that the expectation of scholars to quelch their spiritual identity in their research and praxis, deny the power that is located within Black women scholars.
