摘要社会科课程中现存的爱国主义概念集中在对国家的盲目忠诚或对自由民主理想的信仰上。然而，这些概念未能解释复杂的种族经验，调解公民身份和公民行动，特别是对黑人。在这篇文章中，我们提出了一个理论，黑人批判爱国主义，这是植根于人格的想法，并，抵制亚人格。使用黑色的关键爱国主义作为一个理论框架，我们研究了黑人的抵抗，行动主义和知识机构是如何在美国各地的K-5社会研究标准。调查结果显示，黑人批判爱国主义仅限于时间自由运动，并强调个人的爱国主义行为，而不是黑人集体抵抗的社会政治传统。此外，黑人的批判性爱国主义被认为是两个历史人物，马丁·路德·金。和罗莎·帕克斯，他们的行动主义被净化，以适应美国进步的主要叙事。根据我们的研究结果，我们得出结论，小学教师挖掘标准，以更准确地将黑人历史和种族化的公民身份的建议。我们还呼吁在社会研究教育，推进种族公民的细微差别的概念未来的研究。
Abstract Extant conceptions of patriotism in social studies curricula are centered upon blind allegiance to the state or a belief in ideals of a liberal democracy. Yet these conceptions fail to account for the complex racial experiences that mediate citizenship and civic action, especially for Black persons. In this article, we advance a theory of Black critical patriotism, which is rooted in the idea of personhood and, reciprocally, resistance to subpersonhood. Using Black critical patriotism as a theoretical framework, we examined how Black resistance, activism, and intellectual agency are represented in K–5 social studies standards across the United States. Findings revealed that Black critical patriotism is limited to temporal freedom movements and emphasizes individual acts of patriotism as opposed to sociopolitical traditions of Black collective resistance. Furthermore, Black critical patriotism was accredited to two historical figures, Martin Luther King, Jr. and Rosa Parks, with their activism sanitized to fit within the master narrative of American progress. In light of our findings, we conclude with recommendations for elementary teachers to excavate standards in order to more accurately contextualize Black history and racialized citizenship. We also call for future research in social studies education that advances nuanced conceptions of racialized citizenship.
