Attachment parenting is an increasingly popular style of childrearing that emphasises 'natural' activities such as extended breastfeeding, bedsharing and babywearing. Parents' choices are thus made deeply significant with the potential to guarantee the well-being of future societies. Such parenting activities are framed as the key to addressing a variety of social ills.
Unique in its intersectional analysis of contemporary mothering ideologies, this outstanding book fills a gap in the literature on parenting culture studies, drawing on black feminist theorizing to analyse intensive mothering practices and policies. Examining black mothers' engagements with attachment parenting, Hamilton shows the limitations of this neoliberal approach. Black Mothers and Attachment Parenting is shortlisted for the 2021 BSA Philip Abrams Memorial
