This participatory action research project reveals how family child care providers of color use oppositional consciousness to claim the right to increased social recognition and economic reward in their employment. By identifying their child care as skilled labor, providers of color both use and subvert market ideologies that historically devalue their labor. Simultaneously, African American providers overtly contest market ideologies of self‐interest by drawing on community values of social responsibility and an ethic of collective care. In articulating their work as both a skilled profession and a community responsibility, family child care providers of color contest historically bifurcated ideologies of work versus care. Their analyses enable us to see the ways in which economic need and social well‐being merge when care work enters the market economy. In addition, their experiences elucidate the ways in which historically gendered and racialized ideologies of care and work are redefined and challenged in the process of claims‐making
