The mixed-race family constellation has emerged as a regular feature of the Irish familial landscape. Such a demographic change invariably leads to the increased presence of white women who are mothering across racialised boundaries. Moreover, in the Irish context, the racial category of whiteness is privileged at a structural level and remains a central organising principle of Irishness as a mode of national belonging. This paper, therefore, sets out to address the specific gap in the literature related to the racialised experiences of the white mother of mixed-race (i.e., black African/white Irish) children in contemporary Ireland as these women are, in effect, mothering ‘outsider’ children in a context of white supremacy. More specifically, how does the positioning of these women’s mixed-race children impact their subjectivities as mothers categorised normatively as white and Irish? Framed by critical whiteness literature, this paper draws on in-depth interviews with twelve white Irish mothers. Data analysis broadly revealed three themes as relates to the women’s negotiations of the racialising discourses and practices which impact their family units. Findings suggest that these women no longer occupy the default position of whiteness as a category of racial privilege and a condition of ‘structured invisibility’. Perhaps, most significantly, the lived reality of these women disturbs the hegemonic conflation of the categories white and Irish. This paper, therefore, extends our theoretical understanding of both whiteness and mixed-race studies.

Abstract Objectives Normative behaviors surrounding breastfeeding in public and the community can influence breastfeeding behaviors and inhibit sustained breastfeeding. The goal of this research is to better understand how a diverse group of women perceive images of racially/ethnically similar and different women breastfeeding. The aim is to uncover biases that may impede breastfeeding goals and promotion. Methods An online mixed-methods survey was completed by a sample of 144 mothers with children 2 years of age or younger. The survey included images of women of varying racial/ethnic groups breastfeeding in various settings. Respondents generated word associations for the images and indicated the appropriateness and ease of breastfeeding for each image. Responses were timed to ascertain cognitive dissonance. Supplemental questions examined descriptive, injunctive and group norms, in line with the Theory of Normative Social Behavior. Results A sample that included 42% non-White individuals and 31% Hispanic/Latino individuals, 73% of whom breastfed their most recent child, responded to the survey. On average, respondents took longer to respond to questions about the appropriateness of images of Black and Hispanic women breastfeeding than images of White or Asian women, even though their responses of appropriateness were roughly equal, demonstrating cognitive dissonance in norms and perceptions. Further, with direct comparisons, women were twice as likely to say breastfeeding was easier for an image of a White mother breastfeeding than an image of a Black or Hispanic mother breastfeeding, regardless of respondent racial/ethnic identity. Finally, differences in image appropriateness differed most significantly by the setting (i.e., public vs. private). Conclusions Women are influenced by racial/ethnic biases about breastfeeding ease and appropriateness as well as norms surrounding behaviors of breastfeeding in public settings or in front of others. Future work is needed to dismantle these biases that may influence breastfeeding behaviors and inequitably impact the feeding choice and health of mothers and infants. Funding Sources This research was funded by an internal research grant from Fairfield University.

Recent work regarding children’s rights has advocated for research in non-Western settings and with participants who are ethnic/racial minorities. We addressed these issues through secondary analysis of interviews with 63 mixed-race South African children (9-, 11-, and 13-year olds) and their mothers. Participants’ responses to hypothetical vignettes depicting children’s nurturance and self-determination rights scenarios were coded using social cognitive domain theory and subsequently analysed with mixed-design anovas. Outcomes figured prominently in children’s and mothers’ reasoning. Moral reasoning was primarily invoked when discussing the right to privacy, extending earlier work and suggesting the importance of privacy across cultural contexts.

This article uses data, pooled annually, from the 2008 to 2014 American Community Survey (ACS) to document (1) recent fertility patterns among interracially married couples and (2) the racial or ethnic identification of the children from interracial marriages. We find that a sizable minority of America’s children from mixed-race marriages are identified by their parents as monoracial, which suggests that mixed-race children are seriously underreported. Moreover, the assignment of race is highly uneven across interracial marriages comprising husbands and wives with different racial backgrounds. For America’s children, their reported racial identities in the ACS reflect a kind of racial “tug-of-war” between fathers and mothers, who bring their own racial and cultural identities to marriages. The status or power of parents is often unequal, and this is played out in children’s racial identification. For example, parents from minority populations in interracial marriages often have fewer claims on the race of their children. The racial and ethnic identities of children from these marriages, at a minimum, are highly subjective and complex.

This essay brings counterhumanist and queer feminist approaches to bear on issues of maternity, intimacy, loss, cartography, and affect. I turn to Mario Acevedo Torero’s mural The Rage of La Raza (1974) to consider lost histories, lost subjects, and—extending Sylvia Wynter—a genre of loss. I contend that Torero memorializes Mexican Indigenous and Asian American mothers who, rendered absent by the violences of US legislation and court rulings, continue to haunt the legal and extralegal systems of classification that have “queered” their Chicanx and mixed-race Asian American children as mutants and outsiders. By conjuring these ghost mothers, this artist resists the erasure of unruly intimacies between Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Americas, and related genealogies of knowledge, that has enabled racial, settler, and imperial regimes of liberal humanist governance. Furthermore, in using the mural as a map, Torero expands the borderlands into Asian waters, allowing the viewer to feel and think beyond the strictures of dominant nationalisms. Ultimately, this essay demonstrates the valuable interventions that Chicanx aesthetic practices can make within multiple subfields of critical ethnic studies, settler colonial studies, and Chicanx feminist studies.

AbstractThis essay revisits 1920s German debates over the illegitimate children of the Rhineland occupation to examine hitherto neglected fluctuations in the relationship between nationalism and racism in Weimar Germany. During the early 1920s, nationalist anxieties focused on the alleged racial ‘threats’ emanating from the mixed-race children of colonial French soldiers. After 1927, plans for the forced sterilisation and deportation of the mixed-race children were dropped; simultaneously, officials began to support German mothers’ paternity suits against French soldiers. This hitherto neglected shift in German attitudes towards the ‘Rhineland bastards’ sheds new light on the role of debates over gender and the family in the process of Franco–German rapprochement. It also enhances our understanding of the contradictory political potentials of popularised foreign policy discourses about women's and children's victimisation emerging from World War I.

Abstract The cost of raising grandchildren on grandmothers’ mental and physical health has been well-documented; however, little is known about whether raising grandchildren also has a cost on grandmothers’ relationships with the adult children whose children the grandmothers have raised. Drawing from theories of exchange and affect, stress process model, and racial differences in intergenerational solidarity, we tested how raising grandchildren affects grandmother-adult child relations. Further, we explored the extent to which these patterns differed by race. To address this question, we used mixed-methods data collected from 553 older mothers regarding their relationships with their 2,016 adult children; approximately 10% of the mothers had raised one or more of their grandchildren “as their own.” Data were provided by the Within-Family Differences Study-I. Multilevel analyses showed that raising grandchildren was associated with greater closeness in grandmother-adult child relationship in Black families; however, in White families, raising grandchildren was associated with greater conflict in the grandmother-adult child relationship. Further, the differences by race in the effects of raising grandchildren on closeness and conflict were statistically significant. Qualitative analyses revealed that race differences in the association between raising grandchildren and relationship quality could be explained by mothers’ reports of greater family solidarity in Black than White families. Our findings highlight the ways in which race and family solidarity interact to produce differences in the impact of raising grandchildren on Black and White mothers’ assessment of the quality of their relationships with their adult children, consistent with broader patterns of racial differences in intergenerational cohesion.

In the recent debates gripping the Australian national psyche regarding the ‘Stolen Children’ (the often forcible removal of Aboriginal children of mixed European descent from their Aboriginal mothers practiced for most of the twentieth century under Australian Federal law) little credence is given to now outdated notion of ‘half-caste’ which inspired the original legislation. Today, self-identification, regardless of colour and heritage, determines Aboriginal ethnicity. But ‘half-caste-ness’ constituted a powerful concept in the process of nation formation in colonial Australia and in other colonial contexts.

Abstract Introduction National Survey of Children’s Health is a population-based, nationally representative online and paper survey of primary caregivers of noninstitutionalized U.S. persons aged ≤17 years. Data from 2016-2018 survey (MMWR 2021) published by the Center for Disease Control (CDC) highlighted the racial and economic disparities in sleep duration among children. Children from Black and Hispanic ethnicities had significantly lower sleep duration compared to their white counterparts. Short sleep duration was also more prevalent among families with lower income or lower parental educational attainment. We analyzed the data from questionnaires administered to parents of children presenting for polysomnogram. Methods We analyzed a consecutive sample of caregiver completed questionnaires (n=252) of patients between 4- 18 years referred for polysomnogram to our Pediatric Sleep Program. Questions ranged from demographic information to sleep wake times, sleep duration, sleep environment and parental knowledge of age-appropriate sleep requirement. Regression analysis was performed to study the effect of parental education and ethnicity on sleep duration and parental knowledge of sleep requirement. Results Children born to mothers with college education or higher had significantly longer duration of sleep (p< 0.05). Mothers with college education or higher were also more aware of age-appropriate sleep requirements. (p< 0.05). Children of Asian, White, and Mixed ethnicity were more likely to have age-appropriate sleep duration compared to Black and Hispanic (p< 0.05). Parents of Asian and White ethnicity were more aware of age-appropriate sleep requirement (p< 0.05). Parental marital status or father’s education status did not show similar effects on sleep duration or knowledge about sleep requirement. Conclusion Maternal education and family ethnicity had a significant effect on sleep duration as well as awareness of age-appropriate sleep requirement. Children from families with lower parental educational attainment and Black and Hispanic ethnicities have shorter sleep duration. Findings from our small community-based study mirrored data from large population-based data collected by CDC. Sleep disparity associated with various social determinants of health can increase family stress resulting in environmental and psychological factors that negatively affect sleep duration. Targeted education regarding age-appropriate sleep duration should be provided for ethnic minorities and families with lower income and lower parental education attainment. Support (if any)

This research is a qualitative, heuristic study involving in-depth interviews with eight white, professional heterosexual women in interracial relationships. The women were found through an opportunistic or snowball approach. The participant women were in the age range 25-60. Six were married and two were in long term relationships. All women had children, seven having mixed-race children between 18 months and 23 years of age. Four women had partners of African-Caribbean heritage, three had partners of African heritage and one had a partner of Nepalese heritage. The women shared their reflections on having to confront the realities of racism, coming to terms with their own ambiguous racial position, facing the notion of whiteness and considering their social position as white women. The research was conducted using a heuristic methodology to explore white women's experiences, using creative images and personal reflective and reflexive narratives integrated throughout the text. The research offers insight into how the social experiences of being in an interracial relationship impacts on white women; as individuals, partners and in their role of mother. Implications for themselves as mothers and parenting their children in a racist context are explored and discussed. The findings suggest the women can feel caught between the known (whiteness) and the unknown (blackness). Having crossed a 'socially unaccepted racialised boundary' and challenging explicit dominant social, gendered and racialised beliefs, the women stepped into the unknown involving experiences of changes in status, challenges to assumptions of their maternal competence and living in a world which involved a continuous process of deconstruction and reconstruction of a new, unforeseen racialised identity. The white women moved from being an 'insider' within their own dominant social experiences, to becoming an 'outsider' within another cultural context, sometimes experiencing uncertainty about where they belonged. The white women experienced a shift of reference group orientation, with a new experience of continuous external scrutiny unfolding. These newly encountered social and personal events challenged the white women to review how they previously saw themselves, with this all impacting on their previously taken for granted social status. These experiences impacted at emotional and cognitive levels. As a consequence, the white women often found themselves occupying a liminal or unknown space where a process occurs of attempting to come to terms with the new experiences, new learning and adopting alternative strategies to deal with these different experiences. Implications for counsellors working with white women in interracial relationships are considered and suggestions for therapeutic engagement are made.

This thesis investigates the phenomenon known as a Maori ethnic identity. The topic is investigated using personal interviews and the findings are reported by way of personal narrative. Eight informants were interviewed. All presently identify as Maori and have arrived at this point following a diverse range of experiences. The thesis documents these experiences and those things that are important to them on a personal level. As such, this thesis investigates the topic of Maori ethnicity as it pertains to a group of individuals, not to Maoridom as a whole.
It was found that no single paradigm could be applied to my informant�s conception of identity. Each constructed their identity in a unique way. Integral to all identities, however, was the use of both cultural and biological factors. In constructing and maintaining their identities as Maori my informants looked firstly to the presence of ancestry and, following from this cultural practices were employed. The use of ancestry as a basis of identity, and the causal attributes associated with it (such as natural leanings towards the use of Maori language), represent essentialist tendencies on the part of many of my informants. Also of great interest was the perception, by many of my informants, that cultural traits were innate. This is described as a Lamarckian way of viewing ethnicity.

This chapter looks at what happened to the Korean women and children who remained in South Korea. It sets the stage by describing how President Rhee’s 1953 directive to remove children with American fathers to the United States heightened the vulnerability of those who stayed. The South Korean government worked closely with Harry Holt and in 1954 established Korea’s first welfare agency, Child Placement Service, expressly to remove mixed-race children. The chapter describes how US racial identification practices used to determine which children were “part-black” were introduced to and became institutionalized in South Korea. It also describes how Korean women were erased in this process. They were coerced to give up their mixed-race children and were offered no support from either government. For the children, solutions ranging from segregated schools to welfare reports that pathologized them as “social handicaps” relegated this population to the margins. The chapter ends with a consideration of how mixed-race children and the mothers who fought to raise them navigated the ongoing legacies of US militarization in South Korea.

This chapter charts the experiences of mixed-race migrants competing with legitimate relatives in Britain. In particular, it examines a number of inheritance lawsuits between Jamaicans of color in Britain and their white relatives over a shared colonial estate. It contends that constrictions in the definition and legal standing of kinship at the turn to the nineteenth century suddenly made mixed-race Jamaicans improper members of extended, Atlantic families. Increasing discomfort with mixed-race family members is also demonstrated in sentimental fiction at the time. The chapter assesses a large number of novels and fictional tracts in the last decade of the eighteenth century that included migrants of color as key characters in their stories. The inclusion of such characters was employed to excoriate the illegitimacy, marginal position, and racial divergence of mixed-race people in Britain. Finally, the chapter traces the experiences of the mothers of color left in Jamaica and the ways they attempted to advocate for their children across the Atlantic.

The second chapter follows the development of English society’s response to the rise of mixed-heritage children in the colonial Chesapeake colonies of Virginia and Maryland from the 1690s into the early eighteenth century. This was a critical period for the establishment of hypodescent ideology in North America, as colonial officials in both Virginia and Maryland passed laws that sought to prohibit interracial relationships and inhibit racial intermixture. Colonial magistrates and planters wanted to regulate “Mulattoes” in order to keep them in bondage and many cases appear in county and provincial court records that identify longer period of indentured servitude and punishment for “white” Europeans, especially women, who engaged in relationships with “Negro,” “Indian,” and “Mulatto” men. Cases of “bastardy” and “fornication” began to appear with greater regularly in the Tidewater Chesapeake and often included additional punishment for interracial unions, along with thirty or thirty-one years of servitude for Mulatto children with “white” mothers, as colonists established that slavery would pass through the maternal line.

This chapter explores how customary Chinese notions of patrilineal descent overlapped with new civil law categories of illegitimacy to fortify the sense of a racial boundary between Chinese and Indonesians in late colonial and early postcolonial Java. Along with monogamy, family law reform introduced compulsory birth registration for the Chinese in Java as of May 1919. Birth registration strengthened the Chinese patrilineal notion of race, even if most Chinese continued to have unregistered customary marriages. Beginning to accumulate concomitantly within these registries were records of “illegitimate” mixed-race children born to Indonesian mothers that the Chinese continued to exclude, by Confucian custom, from ritual marriage. Racial difference was experienced through morally judgmental views on extramarital sexuality, as colonial reformers and a younger generation of Dutch-educated Indonesians came to see enduring extramarital relationships between less wealthy and polygamous Chinese men as immoral.

This chapter investigates how multiracial people identify their children and what guides their choices. Do participants of various mixed backgrounds differ in how they identify their children? Are the ethnic and racial backgrounds of partners influential in this regard? Furthermore, how important is the physical appearance of children, the generational locus of mixture, and contact with White and ethnic minority family members in shaping the identification of children? While many US studies have focused on how parents in interracial unions racially classify their children, these studies have not investigated how such parents think about or explain their choices, or what meanings they associate with terms such as “mixed,” “White,” “Black,” or “Asian.” Nor have these studies explored the ways in which multiracial people (not “single race” individuals in interracial unions) racially identify their children.

This chapter chronicles the personal and public disputes rankling the British Empire after the American Revolution. It includes a case study of a mixed-race Jamaican family who travelled to England, then to India, and back to England. When they finally settled in Britain, a white cousin sued them for their Jamaican inheritance and used their West and East Indian ties (including connections to Bengal’s discredited governor Warren Hastings) as a way of castigating them as both corrupt and racially impure. This lawsuit demonstrates the ways that family negotiation in Britain grew increasingly racialized in the wake of the imperial storm of the American Revolution and the beginning of popular protests against colonial slavery. At the same time, however, the chapter shows great divergences in mixed-race experiences in Britain as well as the continuation of interracial relationships in Jamaica despite increasing calls against the practice.

Telling jokes and stories is an art form for both children and adults. The teller has to have good logical order, precise timing, and entertaining delivery to keep everyone’s interest. This chapter presents children’s jokes, listener’s comments, and catalogs both successes and failures. The jokes were told in racially mixed settings. The audience was fellow schoolmates, and the kibitzing is instantaneous. A child stumbling through his/her first attempts at joke and storytelling has to have tenacity and a tough outer skin. Included in this chapter are transcripts of children telling stories as well as jokes and a long interview with ninth graders from Redeemer High School entertaining one another with stories and jokes that get progressively naughtier.

Abstract The construction of motherhood by modern psychological theories has provided an often unfair portrayal of mothers. Mothers have been simultaneously revered for their vital nurturance and blamed for their children’s unsatisfactory well-being. The theories rarely address the psychological experience of motherhood (i.e., how it feels to be a mother) and have tended to focus on the needs of the child rather than on those of the mother. They have reinforced the motherhood mandate, arguing that women are fully developed only once they have borne children. Following brief overviews of developmental and psychoanalytic perspectives on motherhood, womancentered perspectives are discussed as alternative frameworks. Then five issues regarding the myths surrounding motherhood are discussed, including the myth of choice; the role of lence, and depression; stereotypes of “ideal” motherhood; and the purported qualities that make a “good” mother. Implications for clinicians are also included.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Early psychosocial stimulation for infants in precarious situations can yield both short- and long-term benefits to cognitive and social development. Comprehensive programmes, covering health, nutrition, and psychosocial stimulation prove most effective in preventing cognitive impairment and enhancing treatment for children with severe acute malnutrition (SAM). The StimNut study assesses the effects of early psychosocial stimulation on maternal mental health and mother-child relationship, as well as the acceptability of integrating such an intervention into the existing Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) nutrition programme in Koutiala, during a 5-week period. METHODS Mixed-methods data were collected through standardised pre- and post- intervention questionnaires and included: a ‘Dusukasi’ screening tool for local perinatal depression-like symptoms; observations of mother-child interactions using an adapted PICCOLO (Parenting Interactions with Children: Checklist of Observations Linked to Outcomes) tool; as well as semi-structured interviews with caregivers, MSF psychosocial workers, and healthcare staff. RESULTS 149 psychosocial stimulation sessions were conducted with 36 families by three supervised MSF psychosocial workers. Perinatal depression symptoms were found in 53% of mothers before the intervention and 28% after the intervention (p=0.001). Positive changes in the mother-child relationship were observed in 83% of families after the 5-week intervention and more frequent and appropriate responses of the caregivers to the child’s emotional state were noted. Positive changes were also perceived by the mothers as the sessions progressed: their sense of parenting skills was strengthened, their children’s health improved, and the other family members became more involved in childcare practices. The intervention also dismantled healthcare staff prejudices towards mothers of children with SAM, fostering a trusting relationship between them. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrates the positive impact of the early psychosocial stimulation of children with SAM on maternal mental health and the quality of mother-child relationship. As MSF pursues further endeavours in this direction, it is important to recognise the transformative potential these interventions hold for promoting the overall wellbeing of families of children with SAM in humanitarian and low-income countries.

INTRODUCTION MSF and the MoHS implemented a partnership model of free and accessible maternal and child healthcare at primary and hospital-level health facilities in Tonkolili District, Sierra Leone, in order to reduce barriers to care and improve health outcomes. We conducted a health-seeking behaviour (HSB) study in 2021 to evaluate impact and change since a previous HSB study conducted in 2016/17. We also compared MSF-supported primary health unit (PHU) catchment areas with MSF-unsupported PHU’s. In addition, we explored adolescent reproductive health, family planning, and female genital mutilation (FGM). METHODS Study design was mixed-methods, similar to that used in 2016/17, including a quantitative household survey, structured interviews with key informants, and qualitative in-depth interviews (IDI’s). We randomly selected 60 clusters; 30 in MSF-supported areas, and 30 in unsupported areas. IDI’s explored topics identified through the survey, and were conducted with purposively-sampled participants, and analyzed thematically. ETHICS This study was approved by the Sierra Leone Ethical and Scientific Review Committee and by the MSF Ethics Review Board RESULTS Between February and August 2021, 1,164 women and 1,177 carers (of 1,559 children aged under 5) participated in the survey; 59 structured interviews and 42 IDI’s were conducted. Compared to the 2016/17 study, access to healthcare improved, with the proportion of women delivering in a health facility increasing from 52.0% (95% confidence intervals (CI) 42-64) to 90.9% (95% CI 89.2-92.5), and the proportion of mothers reporting at least one barrier to accessing care decreasing from 90.0% (95% CI 80-95) to 45.9% (95% CI 43.0-48.8). Outcomes of care also improved over this period, with under-5 mortality decreasing from 1.55 per 10,0000/day (95% CI 1.30-1.86) to 0.25 per 10,000/day (95% CI 0.17-0.36).When comparing unsupported PHU’s versus supported areas in 2021, complications during labour or delivery were higher in unsupported areas (10.9%; 95% CI 8.6-13.6) vs 7.2% (95% CI 5.3-9.7), as was stillbirth (4.5%; 95% CI 3.1-6.5) vs 1.4% (95% CI 0.6-2.8). Under-5 mortality was 0.44 per 10,000/day (95% CI 2.4-7.2) in unsupported areas and 0.17 per 10,000/day (95% CI 0.8-2.9) in supported areas. 42.9% (95% CI 34.7-51.4) of adolescents in unsupported areas and 39.7% (95% CI 31.3- 48.7) in supported areas reported unmet need for contraception. More than 90% (96.6%, 95% CI 95.3-97.5) of women reported FGM. Qualitative data suggests that communities recognized the importance of delivering in a health facility with trained assistance. Nevertheless, health staff and community members felt the current fine system for home births was applied inflexibly in circumstances when distance, transport, or cost restricted or delayed access. CONCLUSION Since 2016/17, access to healthcare and outcomes have improved in all areas, but improvement has been greatest in areas where, in addition to hospital care, MSF supported MoHS PHU’s. This provides evidence for ongoing implementation and scale-up of comprehensive models of care. Progress made must not overshadow areas requiring further attention, such as care for adolescents, access to contraception, and the need to reduce stillbirths. CONFLICTS OF INTEREST None declared.

A review of evidence was conducted to understand the trends and determinants of malnutrition and identify interventions and programmes that improved maternal and child nutrition in Malawi. While children are less malnourished than two decades ago, one in three children remains stunted (37%) and 63% are anaemic. Children born from younger and less educated mothers, or from poorer rural households are more likely to be malnourished. One in ten children are born with a low birth weight (< 2.5kgs), with nearly half of them stunted by age two. The main causes of malnutrition include recurring sickness, poor infant and young child feeding and hygiene practices and low use of health and nutrition services, influenced by a wide range of factors, including food insecurity, poverty, gender inequality and food taboos. Programme evaluations and intervention trials have shown mixed results but overall highlight the need to address the multiple underlying drivers of malnutrition, rather than focus on one intervention.
