Mothering and Mother(work) in the Times of Black Lives Matter is an edited collection that sprouted alongside the beginnings of the Black Lives Matter movement but seeks to root itself in the historic and ongoing fight against anti-Black, state-sanctioned violence. Utilizing research, personal narratives, poetry and art, this book explores the experience of mothering and “ motherwork” alongside these movements and efforts to protect and value Black life. Centering the voices of Black mothers, Black other mothers and Black birthing people, the collection also seeks to explore the just world that Black mothers hope to create for their futures and the futures of their families and communities.
