Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

This edited collection seeks to initiate a dialogue on South Asian mothering. The chapters in this book explore how South Asian cultural norms and values, as well as social constructions such as gender, race, class, caste, sexuality and ability inform South Asian mothers' perceptions and practices of mothering, both in South Asia and in the diaspora. This book will appeal to multiple audiences as contributors with backgrounds in academia, activism, public policy, and the media draw from theory, research and lived experiences to illuminate the complexity of South Asian mothering.
