Produktbeschreibung
This book, which is based on seven interviews
conducted in a Texas women s prison, focuses on
stories told by a few of the growing number of
mothers incarcerated in American prisons.
Incarcerated mothers stories deal with the
challenges of motherhood before, during, and after
incarceration, offering a nuanced picture of social
and psychological contexts that surround
disadvantaged mothers with unrealistic social norms.
The sum of these women s experiences material and
psychological adds up to a counter-narrative
critiquing the dominant culture s ideas of what
mothers should be and how the system fails to
provide opportunities to disadvantaged parents.
This study analyzes the rhetorical strategies of
incarcerated mothers to determine what strategies
silenced groups utilize in the development of
counter-narratives.
