AB This chapter examines the historical and contemporary citizenship embodiment for African American mother recipients of Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF). Racialized constructions of mothers have been a central factor in the development and disbursement of U.S. public assistance policy. The chapter applies the citizenship framework of T. H. Marshall and Thomas Janoski including civil, political, social, and economic rights. Evidence is examined from a variety of sources: legal jurisprudence, policy provisions, state administrative rules, political discourse, social work professional and street-level bureaucratic practices, and impacts on TANF’s targeted citizens. In this manner, the extent of citizenship experienced under conditions and rules of white supremacy - and social work’s historic and current engagement in these practices - is interrogated. Furthermore, the ways in which White supremacy has infiltrated what are often considered protections of citizens and civil society, from legal and policy structures to professional practice, are interrogated.
