Black Mothers and Attachment Parenting

More about the book

Focusing on the experiences of black mothers, this book critiques attachment parenting, a popular childrearing style emphasizing natural practices like extended breastfeeding and babywearing. It highlights the limitations of this neoliberal approach, arguing that such parenting choices are often overemphasized in their potential to address societal issues. Through an intersectional lens and black feminist theory, the author provides a unique analysis of intensive mothering practices and policies, filling a significant gap in parenting culture studies.
