Racism and other forms of oppression threaten the well-being of racially and ethnically marginalized youth. Models of risk and resilience for marginalized youth have stressed the importance of addressing contextual and structural risk while emphasizing promotive factors such as cultural capital within their communities. Increasingly, research has focused on collective antiracist action as a form of coping with structural oppression. Importantly, supportive intergenerational relationships that develop within youths' everyday contexts may play a key role in catalyzing and reinforcing youths' engagement in antiracist action. This review advances a novel model for understanding how supportive nonparental adults from youths' everyday lives (i.e., natural mentors) influence youths' positive developmental outcomes and participation in antiracist action and how collective antiracist action, in turn, fosters liberation and racial justice. The creation of a more just and equitable society contributes to positive development among racially and ethnically marginalized youth.
种族主义和其他形式的压迫威胁着种族和族裔边缘化青年的福祉。边缘化青年的风险和适应模式强调了应对背景和结构风险的重要性，同时强调了他们社区内的促进因素，如文化资本。越来越多的研究将集体反种族主义行动作为应对结构性压迫的一种形式。重要的是，在年轻人的日常环境中发展起来的支持性代际关系可能在促进和加强年轻人参与反种族主义行动方面发挥关键作用。本综述提出了一个理解年轻人日常生活中非父母成年人（即自然导师）如何影响年轻人积极发展结果和参与反种族主义行动的新模型，以及集体反种族主义行动如何反过来促进解放和种族正义。建立一个更加公正和平等的社会有助于促进种族和族裔边缘化青年的积极发展。
