Mothering - Ideology, Experience, and Agency (Paperback)

The volume presents a variety of unique perspectives on mothering as a socially constructed relationship focused on caring and nurturing. Crossing a range of ethnicities and classes, it addresses different ideas and practices of mothering, the need to expand our definitions beyond biological determinism and 'family values', and the conditions under which, and resources with which, mothering occurs. Since mothering is central to the reproduction of social relations - the main vehicle by which people form their first identities and learn their place in society - it constitutes a contested terrain. This work brings together important voices on the most examined and 'essential' aspect of female being.
