Constructing the (M)other is a collection of personal narratives
about motherhood in the context of a society in which disability
holds a stigmatized position. From multiple vantage points, these
autoethnographies reveal how ableist beliefs about disability are
institutionally upheld and reified. Collectively they seek to call
attention to a patriarchal surveillance of mothering, challenge the
trope of the good mother, and dismantle the constructed hierarchy
of acceptable children. The stories contained in this volume are
counter-narratives of resistance-they are the devices through which
mothers push back. Rejecting notions of the otherness of their
children, in these essays, mothers negotiate their identities and
claim access to the category of normative motherhood. Readers are
likely to experience dissonance, have their assumptions about
disability challenged, and find their parameters of normalcy
transformed.
