Abstract
Afro-Caribbean immigrants are a growing and marginalized population in the U.S. Although they have much in common with African Americans and Latino immigrants, they are a unique and diverse group that is often misunderstood and understudied. This exploratory study highlights the struggles of these mothers as they navigate contrasting parenting values and practices as transnational families. In-depth, semi-structured interviews were conducted, and a thematic analysis revealed four themes related to culture, discipline, education, and collectivism. Data were interpreted from a transnational feminist lens. Clinical implications are offered to strengthen cultural sensitivity and effectiveness with Afro-Caribbean immigrant mothers and their families.
