ebook
Read a sample Read a sample

In Mothering in East Asian Communities, Duncan and Wong seamlessly rupture a homogenous identity category—that of the "tiger mom." The editors invoke the works of diverse contributors who critically challenge essentialized identity cat- egories and racialized and sexualized experiences of women of color within the institution of motherhood and practices of mothering. Here, the edited volume grapples with globaliza- tion, transnationalism, and capitalism with an East Asian eth- no-racial-cultural context. Duncan and Wong offer a personal and political analysis of motherhood that is socially and cultur- ally constructed, shaped by race, class, culture, sexuality, and other social categories. —Roksana Badruddoja, Ph.D., M.B.A., Advanced Assistant Professor of Sociology & Coordinator of Women's and Gender Studies, Manhattan College, New York
