摘要

本文认为,针对黑人父亲的个人和系统的种族主义观念导致了黑人父亲的无能感、不可见感和沮丧感。这篇文章挑战了黑人父亲主要包括旷工、恐吓和虐待行为的种族比喻。这篇文章认为,黑人父亲的身份是非常复杂的,因为黑人父亲承受着精神和身体健康的损害,这是国家认可的暴力和系统的种族主义观念对他们和他们的孩子造成的损害,同时试图防止他们由此产生的压力和过度警惕转移到他们的孩子身上。本文还假设,不解决这些问题会增加这些父亲的心理和身体健康受到损害的风险,并损害他们安全养育和充分保护孩子的能力。本文旨在从儿童福利领域为人类服务从业者提供这一社会和公共卫生问题的具体例子,以及改善人类服务工作者与黑人父亲之间关系的实际方法。最后,我就如何解决黑人父亲因种族健康和社会不公正而经历的健康不平等提出了建议。

Navigating Two Worlds: Understanding the Complexities and Health Implications of Black Fatherhood in Toronto
ABSTRACT This article contends that individual and systemic racist notions against Black fathers contribute to Black fathers’ feelings of ineptitude, invisibility and dejection. This article challenges the racial trope that Black fatherhood mainly encompasses absenteeism, intimidating and abusive behavior. The article argues that Black fatherhood is uniquely complex due to Black fathers being burdened with the mental and physical health detriments as a result of navigating state sanctioned violence and systemically racist notions against both them and their children, while simultaneously trying to prevent their consequential stress and hypervigilance from being displaced onto their children. This paper also posits that not addressing these issues increases the risk of these fathers’ mental and physical health being compromised and impairs their ability to parent safely and adequately protect their children. This article serves to provide human service practitioners tangible examples of this social and public health issue from the field of child welfare in addition to practical ways to ameliorate the relationship between human service workers and Black fathers. I conclude with recommendations on how to address the health inequity experienced by Black fathers stemming from racial health and social injustices.
