ABSTRACT

Preliminary evidence suggests that people and scholars of African and/or Latin American and Caribbean origin are often under-represented in mainstream attachment scholarship. In this commentary, we highlight the difficulty of conducting attachment theory research outside of the United States, particularly in Latin American countries. We reflect on the contributions by the authors of this special issue . We also identify (a) ways in which to center the experiences of Black and Brown people and scholars to push the field toward antiracism, and (b) the challenges of attachment theory and research in becoming anti-racist by considering the structural nature of racism.

摘要

初步证据表明，非洲和/或拉丁美洲和加勒比血统的人和学者在主流依恋奖学金中的代表性通常不足。在这篇评论中，我们强调了在美国以外进行依恋理论研究的困难，特别是在拉丁美洲国家。我们回顾了本期特刊作者的贡献。我们还确定了（a）以黑人和棕色人种和学者的经验为中心，推动该领域走向反种族主义的方式，以及（b）通过考虑种族主义的结构性质，依恋理论和研究成为反种族主义者所面临的挑战.
