Neoliberal political reasoning is remaking the state's democratic character and its governing rules to reflect those of the market. The most prominent legislative example, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, dictates work requirements, time limits, and monitoring and sanctioning of clients. Through such policies, the primary aims of government assistance changed from aiding needy citizens to transforming individuals into paid workers, regardless of continued poverty or care obligations. Although scholarship of related policy and governance tools has grown, less study has centered on understanding the historic events and ways in which race-based, gendered, and poverty narratives facilitated adoption of such austere policies. This article compares circumstances of African American and White mothers in the United States from the Revolutionary War to the postwelfare era. It describes what neoliberalism is, discusses the role of ideological discourses in policy and governance, presents the history and historical racialized portrayals of White and African American motherhood during this period, and analyzes the differential impact of ideological discourses using a lens of intersectionality. The conclusion discusses how discriminatory discourses subvert a democratic ethos for all and suggests ways for social workers to contest the impacts of neoliberalism.

历史问题：种族化的母性和新自由主义

新自由主义的政治推理正在重塑国家的民主特征及其治理规则，以反映市场的特征。最突出的立法示例，贫困家庭临时援助，规定了工作要求、时间限制以及对客户的监控和制裁。通过这些政策，政府援助的主要目标从帮助有需要的公民转变为将个人转变为有偿工人，而不管持续的贫困或照顾义务。尽管相关政策和治理工具的学术研究有所增加，但很少有研究集中在了解历史事件以及基于种族、性别和贫困的叙述促进此类严厉政策的采用的方式。本文比较了从独立战争到后福利时代美国非裔和白人母亲的情况。它描述了新自由主义是什么，讨论了意识形态话语在政策和治理中的作用，呈现了这一时期白人和非裔美国母亲的历史和种族化描绘，并使用交叉性的视角分析了意识形态话语的不同影响。结论讨论了歧视性话语如何颠覆所有人的民主精神，并为社会工作者对抗新自由主义的影响提出了建议。展示了这一时期白人和非裔美国母亲的历史和历史种族化描绘，并使用交叉性的镜头分析了意识形态话语的不同影响。结论讨论了歧视性话语如何颠覆所有人的民主精神，并为社会工作者对抗新自由主义的影响提出了建议。展示了这一时期白人和非裔美国母亲的历史和历史种族化描绘，并使用交叉性的镜头分析了意识形态话语的不同影响。结论讨论了歧视性话语如何颠覆所有人的民主精神，并为社会工作者对抗新自由主义的影响提出了建议。
