South Asian mothering

This edited collection seeks to initiate a dialogue on South Asian Mothering and how embedded cultural practices inform, shape and influence South Asian mothers perceptions and practices of mothering. Drawing from a diverse collection of articles, this work will explore how social constructions such as gender, race, class, sexuality and ability intersect with migration and tradition both in South Asia and in the South Asian diaspora. This book will appeal to multiple audiences as contributors with backgrounds in academia, activism, public policy, and the media will draw from theory, research and lived experiences to illuminate the complexity of South Asian mothering.
