It studies how the mother in each novel negotiates the ragged, hostile landscape of a prohibitive environment to love, protect, and raise her children. Delving far deeper than surface explanations, it is informed by psychological analysis to reveal the forces that create the unique tensions of the African American mother's life, her inspired strategies for survival, and the character of the nurturing she gives her children.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gloria Thomas Pillow\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 078643533X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780786435333\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/07\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 199\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.50d","brand":"Gloria Thomas Pillow","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48453385322751,"sku":"9780786435333","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2c097805-d0d0-4577-a7ad-ed9e9af38105.jpg?v=1777299969","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/motherlove-in-shades-of-black-gloria-thomas-pillow-9780786435333","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
