通过对白人中产阶级母亲的采访，这篇文章考察了育儿方式涉及的做法和身份，这些做法和身份被分类、种族和性别分类。尤其是对中产与白色的建构与表达。这篇文章考察了这些女性对她们作为母亲如何构建社交网络、为孩子选择学校以及计划课外活动的描述。它认为，这些涉及为人母亲和抚养孩子的活动可以被理解为种族、阶级和性别的表现。也就是说，母性的实践，牵涉到重复和重新铭刻分类和种族话语。
Drawing on interviews with white middle-class mothers, this article examines the ways in which mothering involves practices and identities which are classed, raced and gendered. In particular, it focuses on the construction and articulation of middle-classness with whiteness. The article examines the women's descriptions of how they constructed social networks as mothers, chose schools for their children and planned their after-school activities. It argues that these activities involved in being mothers and bringing up children can be understood as performative of race, class and gender. That is, practices of mothering, are implicated in repeating and re-inscribing classed and raced discourses.
