The contributors examine, how despite the diversity of parental relationships, many are excluded by the understanding of mothers biologically tied to their children. The volume seeks to expose the underpinnings of biological primacy and argues that 21st-century families and familial circumstances are ill-served by biological ideology. Topics include Re-Imagining Queer Black Motherhood, Chicana Feminist approaches to reproductive justice, the commercialization and medicalization of infertility, and ableism and motherhood. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis is a unique and fascinating book suitable for students and scholars in gender studies, sexuality studies, communication studies, sociology, and cultural studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Valerie Renegar\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 103231866X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781032318660\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/31\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 246\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.19lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.63d","brand":"Valerie Renegar","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44123247509759,"sku":"9781032318660","price":160.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7cb4fb98-0b0d-46e1-80a0-a515e743e16a.jpg?v=1687429787","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/refiguring-motherhood-beyond-biology-valerie-renegar-9781032318660","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
