An Autoethnography of African American Motherhood
This is the first full-length explicitly identified autoethnographic text on African American motherhood. It is a multi-generational text that blends the author's experience with that of her own mother, grandmother, and her daughter, to engage in a larger discussion of African American/Black mother/womanhood.
