We Who Mother:
Legacies and Futures in Black Feminist Mothering
We Who Mother interrogates (mis)representations of Black motherhood by tracing how modern manifestations of historical images—some rendered to legitimize Black mothers’ oppression, others ostensibly to resist it—continue to press Black mothers into one-dimensional tropes.
Through a Black feminist framework, Dr. Nichole Guillory and I reveal the systemic forces that keep repackaging these images for new generations of Black women and girls, reckon with the costs to Black mothers, and envision a counterimage that embodies the Black mother we recognize—the ultimate futurist with unconditional personhood, mothering in and through the gap of what is and what is possible.
Teaching Diversity Relationally
Engaging Emotions and Embracing Possibilities
A timely book that gives faculty process-oriented guidance for negotiating the psychological and relational challenges inherent in teaching about race, privilege, and oppression.
Grounded in the philosophy of Transformative Education and incorporating psychological theories, Drs. Suyemoto, Kim, and I present concrete strategies for effectively teaching diversity and social justice courses.
"The text is an invitation to a collegial conversation of care and connection framed around the developmental arc of the academic semester and the educator learning "how" to do this work well and with heart."
Dr. Wendi S. Williams, APA President
Unravelling Assumptions
A Primer for Understanding Oppression and Privilege
For university and community audiences, this primer offers an introductory exploration of power, privilege, and oppression as foundations of systems of inequality and examines complexities within meanings and lived experiences of race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, disability, and social class.
"This is a must book in courses related to social justice, multicultural education, human services, psychology, and almost any professional field that hopes to incorporate dialogue across difference and the pervasive injustice that has been part of each of us."
Dr. Gonzalo Bacigalupe, Professor, Department of Counseling and School Psychology, University of Massachusetts Boston
