| Summary: | "The life conditions endured by unmarried Black mothers in the United States reflects the deep-seated ills of anti-Black racism, systemic poverty, disenfranchisement, and state violence that adversely impact the daily lives of most Black Americans. Disturbingly, single Black mothers are, more often than not, held blameworthy for their diminished life circumstances owing to their choice to parent outside of marital unions. 'Single Black Mother' disrupts this negative view of single Black motherhood by making the case that these mothers are not problems to be solved. Rather, the institution of marriage is the problem."-- |
