There is conflicting evidence on Black parenting, specifically Black mothers as it relates to their educational participation in their children’s lives. This study focuses on the intersection of Black parenting, specifically single Black mothers, their Black experience in society, and their participation in the educational experiences of their daughters. There is a need to explore the experiences, behaviors, and actions of single Black mothers as they raise their daughters from early childhood to high school. For example, some research depicts Black mothers as uncaring about their children’s education. The purpose of this study is to examine how these single Black mothers educate and care for their daughters to provide additional insight. The following areas of research were highlighted: the Black experience, the Black family, cultural roles of Black women, the Black mother’s standpoint, and the culture of acting white. The concept addressed in this study is the resiliency of the Black mothers. The statement of the problem is drawn from motherwork, a theoretical framework that looks at distinct ways Black mothers navigate the education experiences of their children. The research questions and qualitative methodological approach of portraiture is different from traditional qualitative work, which focuses on the goodness of the research participant, instead of the failure of research participants. Portraiture paints a portrait of the research participant with words and allows for in-depth dialogue. Some current research depicts single mothers in a negative perspective. This study provides additional insight on how single Black mothers educate and care for their daughters. This additional information may be applicable to all parents and educators and serves as another source about motherhood for children being raised from early childhood to high school. / text

Esta dissertação versa sobre a figura da mãe-preta como uma imagem de controle, tomando o feminismo negro enquanto perspectiva epistemológica. O problema de pesquisa observado é de que modo a mãe-preta constitui-se enquanto um estereótipo racial nas artes plásticas e como é discutida a partir da produção de distintas autorias. Sobretudo, quais as alterações nessa representação quando mulheres negras passam a produzir obras que relacionam gênero e raça. Os capítulos que compõem essa pesquisa procuram responder de que forma a sociologia abordou o tema de raça e gênero. Ainda, como a perspectiva feminista negra se inscreve na sociologia apresentando uma leitura interseccional e que busca colocar a mulher negra conforme o sujeito central da produção de conhecimento. Também como a cultura e, especificamente, as artes visuais são uma ferramenta através da qual são criados estereótipos raciais que operam sustentando as desigualdades. Com isso, as perguntas centrais que norteiam o trabalho são: O que criam artisticamente as mulheres negras sobre si mesmas quando possuem essa oportunidade? Quais as respostas que existem para questionar e repensar a figura da mãe-preta? Quem é a mãe-preta sob a perspectiva de mulheres negras? / This dissertation deals with the black mother as a control image, with black feminism as an epistemological perspective. The research problem observed is how the black mother constitutes as a black stereotype in the plastic arts and how it is discussed from the production of different authorships. Above all, what are the changes in this representation when black women begin to produce works that relate gender and race. The chapters that compose this research seek to answer, how sociology has approached the theme of race and gender. How the black feminist perspective is inscribed in the sociology presenting an intersectional reading and which seeks to place the black woman as the central subject of the production of knowledge. Also how culture and specifically the visual arts are a tool through which black stereotypes are created and operate sustaining inequalities. With this, the central question guiding the work is: what do black women create about themselves when they have the opportunity? What answers exist to question and rethink the black mother? Who is the black mother of black women?
