Crosscultural Mothering and Forced Migration

Focusing on crosscultural mothering and a nuanced notion of forced migration, this edited collection adds an angle of vision largely silent in the gender and migration discourses to highlight the complex nature of negotiating mothering and maternity in a new country of resettlement after or, even, during forced migration, and negotiating with motherhood as a social institution that is situated and embedded in a dominant maternal ideology that may stand at odds with the migrating women's values or worldview. Through compelling visual art images, creative pieces, and critical essays, mothers, artists, creative writers, community research practitioners and academics provide distinct intersectional, interdisciplinary, and autoethnographical perspectives on theirs and others' experiences of crosscultural mothering as women who have experienced forced migration and displacement. It is written by migrant mothers for migrant mothers, and others interested in learning about the contextual, emotive or affective, and performative aspects of mothering and forced migration.
