The Wisdom in Our Stories: Asian American Motherscholar Voices
Cathery Yeh; Ruchi Agarwal-Rangnath; Betina Hsieh; Judy Yu
International Journal of Qualitative Studies in Education (QSE), v37 n3 p860-873 2024
This article centers the counternarratives of four Asian American motherscholar teacher educators presented as letters to our children in which we apply tenets of AsianCrit to parenting and education, with racial realism at the forefront. Using Asian Critical Theory and motherscholar research to frame our analysis, themes within and across the data include pressures of cultural assimilation and identity loss, intersectional identities, compliance and resistance to Asianization, and learning from our children. Our Asian American motherscholar stories serve as examples of motherhood as an asset to critical scholarship and praxis.
