Description
Birthing Black Mothers by Jennifer C. Nash explores how the concept of the "Black mother" has become a powerful political category.
The figure of the "Black mother" is often associated with crisis and tragedy, but Nash examines alternative representations of motherhood that are not rooted in loss or trauma.
Through cultural critique and in-depth interviews, Nash imagines a Black feminist project that seeks to reimagine new modes of Black motherhood, one that refuses to locate the precarity of Black life solely in women's experiences.
