Abstract:
Latinx have contributed to the foundation and formation of the United States, and as this demographic increases, overlooking their unique experiences and lived conditions can limit community psychology\'s potential to better support them in their wellbeing. Thus, in alignment with the call for a virtual special issue highlighting critical themes in the American Journal of Community Psychology (AJCP), we take an exemplar approach to reviewing 15 articles published between 1979 and 2023. We highlight these articles for their unique contributions in laying the foundation or shifting the discourses of Latinx in the United States. We organize each article under one of the following themes: (1) Challenging notions of Latinx as passive victims or deficient; (2) Documenting the misrepresentation and invisibility of Latinx in community psychology; (3) Affirming Latinx as knowledge producers, protagonists, and agents of change; and (4) Centering Latin American epistemologies that foster liberatory praxis for and with Latinx. Via these themes, we illustrate where the discipline has been, and offer reflection for where it can move toward as it relates to Latinx. In doing so, we highlight perspectives grounded in Latinx communities. Our review is not exhaustive; however, it offers our subjective interpretation or curation of the articles we acknowledge as fundamental to the discipline\'s formation, and our learning and ongoing growth as critical community psychologists of Latin American heritage with affinities to Latinx communities in the United States. We offer this brief review as a semilla (seed) to the possibilities ahead as we remain open to reflection, dialog and learning.
摘要:
拉丁裔为美国的建立和形成做出了贡献,随着人口的增加,忽视他们独特的经历和生活条件会限制社区心理学的潜力,以更好地支持他们在他们的福祉。因此,与《美国社区心理学杂志》(AJCP)上强调关键主题的虚拟特刊的呼吁一致,我们采用示例性的方法来回顾1979年至2023年之间发表的15篇文章。我们强调这些文章在奠定基础或改变美国拉丁裔话语方面的独特贡献。我们根据以下主题之一组织每篇文章:(1)挑战拉丁裔作为被动受害者或不足的概念;(2)记录拉丁裔在社区心理学中的虚假陈述和不可见性;(3)确认拉丁裔为知识生产者,主角,和变革的推动者;(4)以拉丁美洲认识论为中心,促进拉丁裔的解放实践。通过这些主题,我们说明了纪律在哪里,并提供与Latinx相关的反思。在这样做的时候,我们强调基于拉丁社区的观点。我们的审查并不详尽;然而,它提供了我们对我们承认为学科形成的基础的文章的主观解释或策展,以及我们作为拉丁美洲遗产的重要社区心理学家的学习和持续增长,与美国的拉丁裔社区关系密切。我们提供这个简短的审查作为一个semilla(种子)未来的可能性,我们仍然开放的反思,对话和学习。
