Review Mothering and Welfare is a terrific collection of papers that offer smart critical analyses of the challenges and survival strategies of mothers who are marginalized by poverty, disability, incarceration and the pervasive effects of neoliberal capitalism. -Professor Bonnie J. Fox Department of Sociology University of Toronto This vivid exploration of the complexities of mothering and welfare in times of austerity not only details the deprivation and control involved, but also depicts resistance, agency and seized opportunities. Diversity, in its country studies, voices and methods, offers a fuller, more vibrant, picture of mothering, one that serves to re-cast motherhood, mothering, and the forms and places of motherwork. -Alexandra Dobrowolsky, Professor, Political Science Saint Marys University Mothering and Welfare: Depriving, Surviving, Thriving is a very timely collection which focusses on the complexities of motherhood and motherwork in a time of precarity, austerity, and Trumpian divisiveness [you could use madness as well]. The strength of this collection is that while it highlights the struggles mothers face, it also highlights the resourcefulness and resilience of social reproductive labourers and points to ways in which all forms of motherwork can be supported and valued. ?
