强有力的控制图像使关于贫困的非洲裔美国妇女的误导信息永久化,这有助于这些妇女忍受压迫。这些图像为政策和行为提供了信息,这些政策和行为创造并维持了结构性障碍,例如缺乏受教育和有意义的就业机会,进一步使受压迫的个人边缘化。本文运用深度访谈资料,分析贫困非裔美国女性生活经验中的连锁冲突。真实的女性声音作为抵抗的反叙事。我们写这篇论文的更大目标是鼓励公众,政策制定者,服务提供者和贫困的非洲裔美国妇女自己通过解构个人偏见,教育公众和发展文化一致的社会问题干预措施来对抗控制图像。
Powerful controlling images perpetuate misguided messages about impoverished African–American women that contribute to the oppression these women endure. These images inform policies and behavior that create and maintain structural barriers such as lack of access to education and meaningful employment further marginalizing oppressed individuals. This article uses in-depth interview data to analyze interlocking oppressions in the lived experience of impoverished African–American women. The authentic women’s voices presented serve as a counter narrative of resistance. Our larger goal in writing this paper is to encourage the public, policy makers, service providers, and impoverished African–American women themselves to fight against controlling images by deconstructing personal biases, educating the public, and developing culturally congruent interventions to social problems.
