?This volume provides a broadly contextualized treatment of Patricia Hill Collins? work focusing on black women and motherhood within a range of discourses including its use as a theoretical reflective lens, as a pedagogical tool, and as a construct for critical inquiry on the personal, academic and socio-political levels. By bringing Collins? voice literally to the text with an interview between she and the author, the book allows the reader to gain even richer meaning from her seminal works, as well as to spark further inquiry and exploration on the intersectionality of race, gender and motherhood ??Karen T. Craddock, PhD, Faculty, Jean Baker Miller Training Institute Wellesley Centers for Women?The contributors to this volume bring sustained scholarly attention to the multiple ways in which Patricia Hill Collins unmasks oppressive ideologies of motherhood and reveals the creative and revolutionary practices of Black mothering. By assembling these voices together, Kaila Adia Story reminds us of the significance, scope, and relevance of Collins? work for our understanding of how race, class, and sexuality inflect how motherhood is conceptualized, enforced, and practiced in the U.S.??Heather Hewett, Associate Professor of English and Women?s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies, SUNY New Paltz.
