Abstract

We all know what a "good mother" looks like on television and in the popular imagination: typically she is white, heterosexual, and married, and devotes herself full-time to child care. But increasing numbers of women who mother today do not fit this narrow traditional image, and their different experiences of mothering are often maligned, misunderstood, or ignored. This compelling book presents the stories of diverse mothers whose life circumstances place them outside the mainstream. Filled with the voices of the women themselves, chapters explore the lives of mothers of exceptional children and biracial children; mothers who seek closeness and connection with their adolescent children; mothers with HIV/AIDS; immigrant, homeless, single, lesbian, adoptive, and teen mothers; African American mothers living in poverty; and mothers in prison. Their vivid, heartfelt accounts demonstrate the unique strengths of women struggling to overcome personal and societal barriers and take us beyond labeling entire groups of mothers as normal or deviant, "good" or "bad."

Abstract

De auteurs van dit boek gaan in op de manier waarop in de medische wereld de technologische ontwikkelingen worden gebruit voor het opbouwen van een identiteitsgevoel. De nieuwe methoden om medisch onderzoek te verrichten stellen de rol van zowel patiënt als geneeskundige in vraag. De moderne technieken staan velen onder hen toe om zichzelf als het ware vanuit beide invalshoeken te bekijken. De lokroep van de technologische vooruitgang, het fascinerende van het visuele en van de media, zet veel mensen aan om met name het eigen lichaam anders te gaan bekijken, en niet enkel vanuit puur wetenschappelijke interesse.
