Frontera Madre(hood): Brown Mothers Challenging Oppression and Transborder Violence at the U.S.-Mexico Border: The Feminist Wire Books
Editat de Cynthia Bejarano, Maria Cristina Moralesen Limba Engleză Paperback – 17 sep 2024
Thirty contributors discuss their lived experiences, research, or community work challenging multiple layers of oppression, including militarization of the border, border security propaganda, feminicides, drug war and colonial violence, grieving and loss of a child, challenges and forms of resistance by Indigenous mothers, working mothers in maquiladoras, queer mothering, academia and motherhood, and institutional barriers by government systems to access affordable health care and environmental justice. Also central to this collection are questions on how migration and detention restructure forms of mothering. Overall, this collection encapsulates how mothering is shaped by the geopolitics of border zones, which also transcends biological, sociological, or cultural and gendered tropes regarding ideas of motherhood, who can mother, and what mothering personifies.

Recenzii
“This must-read collection of nonacademic and academic madre voices from both sides of the border captures the resistance, activism, love, and healing of Brown mothers. Through their words, readers bear witness to the everyday struggles, trauma, and resiliency of negotiating everyday life in the borderlands.”—Dolores Delgado Bernal, author of Transforming Educational Pathways for Chicana/o Students
“From immigration and border enforcement to labor exploitation, militarization, and the social determinant of women’s health, Bejarano and Morales curated a dynamic collection of essays that advance feminist writing on motherwork and othermothering. Frontera madre(hood)’ as an analytic interrogates state-sanctioned oppression and violence, in its many public and private forms, against Chicanx, Latinx, and Indigenous women of the U.S.-Mexico borderlands through the lens of mothering practices as familial and communal.”—Mako Fitts Ward, Arizona State University

Descriere
Reflecting on the concept of frontera madre(hood) as both a methodological and theoretical framework, this collection embodies the challenges and resiliency of mothering along both sides of the U.S.-Mexico border. More than thirty contributors examine how mothering is shaped by the geopolitics of border zones, which also transcends biological, sociological, or cultural and gendered tropes regarding ideas of motherhood, who can mother, and what mothering personifies.
