This critical ethnographic study of Family Court child maltreatment proceedings describes and illuminates the ways in which racial, gender and class disadvantages can manifest on the ground as judges, attorneys, social service workers, and parents – joined often by gender but split by race and class – adjudicate cases. The findings suggest that intersectionality worked in ways that exponentially marginalized poor mothers of color in the courtroom, both through the rules of the adversarial process, which silenced their voices and through the construction of narratives which emphasized individual weakness over structural obstacles and personal irresponsibility over expressions of maternal care and concern. Standard due process courtroom practices also communicated bias or social exclusion, especially in a courtroom split by race and class.

评判他人：家庭法庭中种族、性别和阶级的交叉

这项关于家庭法庭虐待儿童诉讼的批判性人种学研究描述并阐明了种族、性别和阶级劣势在法官、律师、社会服务工作者和父母的实际表现上的方式——通常由性别加入，但因种族和阶级而分裂– 审理案件。研究结果表明，交叉性的运作方式使法庭上贫穷的有色人种母亲呈指数边缘化，这既是通过对抗性程序的规则使她们的声音保持沉默，也通过构建强调个人弱点而不是结构性障碍和个人对表达不负责任的叙述产妇的关怀和关怀。标准的正当程序法庭实践也传达了偏见或社会排斥，尤其是在按种族和阶级划分的法庭中。
