This paper examines a statistics debate among African American caregivers raising children with disabilities for insights into the work of "African American mothering." Using ethnographic, narrative and discourse analyses, we delineate the work that African American mothers do--in and beyond this conversation--to cross ideological and epistemological boundaries around race and disability. Their work entails choosing to be an "I" and, in some cases, actively resisting being seen as a "they" and/or part of a collective "we" in order to chart alternative futures for themselves and their children.
本文考察了一场关于非裔美国残疾儿童照顾者的统计学辩论，以期深入了解“非裔美国母性”的工作。我们采用人种志、叙事和话语分析，阐述了非裔美国母亲在这场关于种族和残疾的思想和认识论边界内外所做的工作。她们的工作包括选择成为“我”，并且在某些情况下，积极抵制被视为“他们”和/或集体“我们”的一部分，以规划自己和孩子的替代未来。
