Black boys and young men are disproportionately burdened with navigating contexts of community violence resulting from race-based structural inequities and concentrated disadvantage. Despite this chronic adversity, many Black boys and young men thrive; however, resilience research has traditionally focused on identifying individual- and family-level factors that support resilience. Research has yet to fully examine community-level resources that facilitate processes of resilience for Black boys and young men in the contexts of trauma, violence, and poverty. Guided by ecological frameworks and using the community-based participatory method of action-oriented community diagnosis, our qualitative study examines the perspectives of diverse community stakeholders (N = 29) whose roles and influence span systems levels and shape contexts of violence and healing for Black boys and young men in Greensboro, North Carolina. Findings point toward relationship (mentoring), community (safe spaces to heal), and societal (interventions to dismantle racism) level opportunities and barriers ("terroristic territorialism") to promote resilience in Black boys and young men. Implications for research and praxis that broadens the scope of resilience research from successful adaptation to conditions of community violence to community-level intervention to promote resilience and transformation are discussed.

“复原力看起来像我”：社区利益相关者对暴露于社区暴力的黑人男孩和年轻男性复原力的看法。


黑人男孩和年轻男性不成比例地承受着由基于种族的结构性不平等和集中的劣势导致的社区暴力环境。尽管存在这种长期的逆境，但许多黑人男孩和年轻男子茁壮成长;然而，韧性研究传统上侧重于确定支持韧性的个人和家庭层面因素。研究尚未全面检查社区层面的资源，这些资源在创伤、暴力和贫困的背景下促进黑人男孩和年轻男性的复原过程。在生态框架的指导下，使用基于社区的以行动为导向的社区诊断参与式方法，我们的定性研究考察了不同社区利益相关者 （N = 29） 的观点，他们的角色和影响跨越系统层面，并塑造了北卡罗来纳州格林斯博罗的黑人男孩和年轻男性的暴力和康复环境。研究结果表明，关系（指导）、社区（安全治愈空间）和社会（消除种族主义的干预措施）层面的机会和障碍（“恐怖主义领土主义”）可以提高黑人男孩和年轻男性的复原力。讨论了扩大复原力研究范围的研究和实践的影响，从成功适应社区暴力条件到社区层面的干预以促进复原力和转型。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 （c） 2024 APA，保留所有权利）。
