tales of motherwork (dislodging the unthinkable)
""New Maternalisms": Tales of Motherwork (Dislodging the Unthinkable) explores the perceptions of those who engage in and/or research motherwork or the labor of caregiving, i.e. mothers, and how mothers view themselves in comparison to broader normative understandings of motherwork. The selections are written by individuals from a multitude of vantage points ranging from academia to art to medicine. The authors featured here explore the meanings of mother, mothering and motherwork within a variety of cultural and national spaces. The contributors indeed investigate the intimate boundaries of motherhood. The anthology further contributes to the research on the complex construct of maternal practice begun by such notable scholars as Andrea O'Reilly, Barbara Katz Rothman, Sara Ruddick and Ann Crittenden, illuminating "the fissures and cracks between the ideological representation of motherhood and the lived experiences of being a mother.
