Description

Inspired by the legacy of radical and queer black feminists of the 1970s and '80s, Revolutionary Mothering is an anthology that centres mothers of colour and other marginalised mothers' voices. Marginalised and oppressed mothers are at the centre of a world of necessary transformation.

The challenges we face as movements working for racial, economic, reproductive, gender and food justice, as well as anti-violence, anti-imperialist and queer liberation, are the same challenges that marginalised mothers face every day.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

Revolutionary Mothering is praised for its fresh ideas and focus on anti-capitalist, anti-racist, and anti-sexist theory-building grounded in the experiences of women of colour. Reviewers highlight its exploration of mothering amid historical oppressions like enslavement and colonialism, describing the book as brave, vulnerable, and radically visionary. The anthology is appreciated for addressing universal themes of family, love, and sacrifice while acknowledging the revolutionary spirit within all. It is seen as a powerful narrative that links mothering to broader contexts of history, community, and love.
