{"product_id":"motherhood-absence-and-transition-trish-green-9781138260313","title":"Motherhood, Absence and Transition: When Adult Children Leave Home","description":"The vast majority of academic texts on motherhood have focused on women's experiences of the early years of mothering, while texts covering the topic of home-leaving have tended to privilege the young person's experience. Combining lively empirical material with an illuminating social-theoretical framework, Trish Green's book addresses the much neglected area of the mother's experience of separation from her child at the time of their home-leaving. The book makes clear how the mother's experience of separation is silenced, first by the socio-cultural constructions of motherhood per se, second by the privileging of the child's transition to adulthood, and third by a neglect of the relational dimension of this particular life-course transition. In doing so the book makes an important contribution to debates on ageing, identity and the life-course, and will be of great interest to sociologists with various academic interests.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Trish Green\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138260312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138260313\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/23\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 196\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.63lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.42d","brand":"Trish Green","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48087716004095,"sku":"9781138260313","price":44.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bdf48969-db7e-42a4-bf2f-3352bfe414f8.jpg?v=1769101001","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/motherhood-absence-and-transition-trish-green-9781138260313","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
