Abstract

This article, based on collaborative ethnography, describes five low income white mothers’ equity literacy practices as they advocated for their children’s diverse “failing” school during a state takeover. Mothers used both hard and soft advocacy. They promoted equity by reinforcing positive aspects of the school community, and resisting and reframing negative stories perpetuated about the school based on stigma at the intersection of race, class, and standardized educational attainment. They shared the ideal of exposing their children to “real life” by staying loyal to their school. These mothers’ stories present possibilities, and challenges, for realizing interracial solidarity that fosters and sustains equitable schooling in the United States long term.
倡导故事:白人低收入母亲引导学校改革的公平扫盲实践
这篇文章,基于合作人种学,描述了五位低收入白人母亲在国家接管期间为自己孩子的多元化“失败”学校辩护时的平等扫盲实践。母亲们采用了软硬兼施的宣传方式。他们通过加强学校社区的积极方面来促进公平,并抵制和重新塑造基于种族,阶级和标准化教育成就交叉的耻辱而持续存在的关于学校的负面故事。他们都有一个共同的理想,即通过忠于学校,让孩子接触“真实生活”。这些母亲的故事为实现种族间的团结提供了可能性和挑战,这种团结可以长期促进和维持美国的公平教育。
