神圣的婚姻、核心家庭、常去教堂、受过良好的教育和良好的举止是体面的典型标志。这些维多利亚时代中产阶级的意识形态价值观在奴隶制解放后被传教士和牧师带到英属加勒比地区，旨在“教化”前奴隶。作为社会价值观，它们往往在加勒比克里奥尔社区内被一套更复杂的文化和社会价值观所改变或与之对立。然而，随着时间的推移，一些人接受了这些以欧洲为中心的价值观，从而规定了一种种族化的公民身份。1960年代移民到英国后，一些移民母亲努力向子女传播这些价值观，以努力融入和发展身份认同感和归属感，但也作为抵制种族主义和歧视经历的方式。本文阐述了两个移民加勒比海的母亲所经历的紧张局势，他们的关注，体面的社会价值观正在失去他们的后代。
ABSTRACT Holy matrimony, nuclear family, attending church, education and good manners are typical markers of respectability. These Victorian middle-class ideological values were transported to the British Caribbean region after emancipation of slavery by missionaries and priests aiming to “civilize” the ex-slaves. As social values they were often transformed or met in opposition with a more complex set of cultural and social values within Caribbean creole communities. Over time, however, some individuals adopted these Eurocentric values, thus prescribing to a form of racialized citizenship. Upon migration to Britain in the 1960s, some migrant mothers endeavoured to transmit these values among their children, in an effort to integrate and develop a sense of identity and belonging, but also as modes of resistance to experiences of racism and discrimination. This paper illustrates the tensions experienced by two migrant Caribbean mothers, and their concerns that the social values of respectability are being lost among their offspring.
