By Any Means: Decision Making among Single Black American and Black Immigrant Mothers Who Homeschool
Fields-Smith, Cheryl A.
AERA Online Paper Repository, Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the American Educational Research Association (San Antonio, TX, Apr 27-May 1, 2017)
Sixty plus years after Brown many Black families find equal educational opportunity through homeschooling, which has increased by 61.8% in recent years. Through a Black Feminist Theory lens, homeschooling has been conceived as a form of resistance to the perceived racism experienced by Black families in public schools in this Phenomenological study. Specifically, this study features the voices of single Black mothers who chose to homeschool and who have been ignored in the literature until now. Thus, this work provides a strong counter narrative to the negative images associated with being a single Black mother. Moreover, the single Black parents in this study represent unemployed and employed families and include a Black immigrant as well.
