Belonging matters in early childhood. Despite its importance, the majoritarian conceptualization of belonging is seldom problematized. In the US, the politics of belonging draws racialized lines of inclusion and exclusion, (re)inscribing longstanding racialized systems of inequity and injustice. Through critical race and Latina feminist perspectives and methodologies, an immigrant mother and son of Color examined their lived experiences. Findings unveil the urgency of upending formal racialized notions of belonging—for example, citizenship, co-naturalized with whiteness. Attending to the palpable consequences of ideological and relational borders that exclude and subjugate immigrants of Color, implications call for abolishing belonging as property and cultivating collective healing.

归属感在幼儿时期很重要。尽管它很重要，但归属的多数主义概念很少被问题化。在美国，归属政治划出了种族化的包容和排斥界限，（重新）刻画了长期存在的不平等和不公正的种族化制度。通过批判种族和拉丁裔女权主义的观点和方法，一对有色人种的移民母子审视了他们的生活经历。调查结果揭示了颠覆正式的种族化归属观念的紧迫性——例如，公民身份与白人共同归化。关注排除和压制有色人种移民的意识形态和关系边界的明显后果，其含义要求废除作为财产的归属感并培养集体疗愈。
