Research shows that although domestic violence is a global, prevalent social phenomenon which transcends class, race, and educational levels, this social monster and its impact have been relatively ignored in the realm of schooling. In this study, I problematize the issue of domestic violence by interrogating: How do the family and folk culture educate/miseducate children and adults about their gendered roles and responsibilities? How do schools reinforce the education/miseducation of these gendered roles and responsibilities? What can we learn about the effects of this education/ miseducation? What can schools do differently to bridge the gap between children and families who are exposed to domestic violence? This study introduces CAREPraxis as a possible framework for schools to implement an emancipatory reform. CAREPraxis calls for a re/definition of school leadership, home-school relationship, community involvement, and curriculum in order to improve the deficiency of relationality and criticality skills identified from the data sources on the issue of domestic violence. This study is etiological as well as political and is grounded in critical theory, particularly postcolonial theory and black women’s discourses, to explore the themes of representation, power, resistance, agency and identity. I interviewed six women, between ages 20 and 50, who were living or have lived in abusive relationships for two or more years. The two major questions asked were: What was it like when you were growing up? What have been your experiences with your intimate male partner with whom you live/lived. The data from the personal and reconstructed narratives of Belizean women were employed to (1) understand the lived experiences of women who have been battered, (2) unearth historical and cultural continuities, and (3) illuminate the complexity surrounding this social issue of domestic violence. 2003-04-08 English text Miami University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=miami1049814168 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=miami1049814168 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
