Dr. Carr's work on Black feminist mothering focuses on how Black women's labor births new possibilities for a better world. As today’s world becomes increasingly hostile–rising costs of food and housing coupled with global warming’s devastating impact–we are in need of a revolutionary feminism bold enough to imagine new pathways for survival. Dr. Carr positions Black feminist mothering as much more than a biological or caregiving role. Building on key Black feminist tenets, Dr. Carr examines Black women’s maternal labors as a radical proclamation of our ability to mother ourselves, tend to each other, and nourish our communities. Far too often, Black women’s maternal, intellectual, and political labors are only recognized when in service to white supremacist capitalism. Black Feminist Mothering in 21st Century American Literature counters these dehumanizing iconographies, focusing instead on the Black maternal’s radical possibilities for freedom.
