Trauma and Motherhood in Contemporary Literature and Culture
repositions motherhood studies through the lens of trauma theory by
exploring new challenges surrounding conception, pregnancy, and
postpartum experiences. Chapters investigate nine case studies of
motherhood trauma and recovery in literature and culture from the
last twenty years by exploring their emotional consequences through
the lens of trauma, resilience, and "working through" theories.
Contributions engage with a transnational corpus drawn from the
five continents and span topics as rarely discussed as pregnancy
denial, surrogacy, voluntary or involuntary childlessness, racism
and motherhood, carceral mothering practices, surrogacy, IVF,
artificial wombs, and mothering through war, genocide, and
migration. Accompanied by an online creative supplement, this
volume deals with silenced aspects of embodied motherhood while
enhancing a better understanding of the cathartic effects of
storytelling.
