Inspired by the legacy of radical and queer black feminists of the
1970s and ’80s, Revolutionary Mothering places
marginalized mothers of color at the center of a world of necessary
transformation. The challenges we face as movements working for
racial, economic, reproductive, gender, and food justice, as well as
anti-violence, anti-imperialist, and queer liberation are the same
challenges that many mothers face every day. Oppressed mothers create
a generous space for life in the face of life-threatening limits,
activate a powerful vision of the future while navigating tangible
concerns in the present, move beyond individual narratives of choice
toward collective solutions, live for more than ourselves, and remain
accountable to a future that we cannot always see. Revolutionary
Mothering is a movement-shifting anthology committed to birthing
new worlds, full of faith and hope for what we can raise up together.
