Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This illuminating collection moves beyond the perspectives of mothering and motherhood as an individual practice. Here, attention is given to how caretaking is extended in a myriad ways, especially in familial systems and community networks. These chapters reveal multidisciplinary perspectives that include sociology, literary studies, health, cultural studies, media studies, history, law, women's and gender studies, and personal narratives. In each conversation with the reader, the collection reflects on how othermothering strengthens core bonds within the community. The core tenet of feminist theory and practice, " the personal is political", becomes through the essays an invitation to reconceive the structures of parenting from, not only a critical, historical, and analytical perspective, but also from the stories that support and bring those analyses to the foreground. Here, othermothering is rescue and the collection, by sharing these diverse narratives, becomes a valuable tool - an apparatus for building community. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Paperback. Condition: New. "Don't women with children travel?" Marybeth Bond and Pamela Michael enquire, in their book A Mother's World: Journeys of the Heart (1998), when discovering the absence of portrayals of travelling mothers. Addressing this absence, our book Travellin' Mama: Mothers, Mothering and Travel explores the multiple dimensions of motherhood and travel. Through a variety of compelling creative pieces and critical essays with a global outlook and wide-ranging historical, cultural, and national perspectives, Travellin' Mama: Mothers, Mothering and Travel examines the vital contributions made to travel writing and representations of travel by mothers. Autoethnographical approaches inform many of the pieces in this book, illustrating the significance of the personal and writing the self in re-imagining our cultural narratives and representations of travel, and the mothers who undertake it.
