Imagining Motherhood in Contemporary Irish and Caribbean Literature
undertakes a comparative transnational reading to develop more
expansive literary models of good mothering. Abigail L. Palko
argues that Irish and Caribbean literary representations of
non-normative mothering practices do not reflect transgressive or
dangerous mothering but are rather cultural negotiations of the
definition of a good mother. This original book demonstrates the
sustained commitment to countering the dominant ideologies of
maternal self-sacrifice foundational to both Irish and Caribbean
nationalist rhetoric, offering instead the possibility of
integrating maternal agency into an effective model of female
citizenship.
