Description
"In Birthing Black Mothers, Jennifer C. Nash narrates Black Lives Matter as a capacious social movement that has performed its radical political work by claiming that Black maternal lives matter. Through focus groups, interviews with Black doulas, as well as cultural critique, Nash discusses not only how the biopolitical state and Black feminists invoke Black mothers to gain political currency, but also how Black mothers themselves engage with the ways their images and lives are deployed. The project is an invitation for Black feminists to theorize, organize, and freedom-dream in ways that imagine Black motherhood apart from anticipated trauma, a vision that has positive material outcomes for Black mothers and which refuses to reproduce Black motherhood merely as a trauma category"--,Provided by publisher.
