Revolutionary Mothering: Love on the Front Lines by Mai'a Williams, China Martens, Alexis Pauline Gumbs
5.0
As someone who is currently crafting her own plan for future revolutionary/fugitive mothering endeavors, reading this anthology was an extreme delight. It was heartfelt, searing in its truths and critiques of systems of oppression, and endearing with the personal antidotes about everyday parenting maneuvers. As a black queer Muslim, I tend to be severely ambivalent about raising children and/or starting my own family given the current states of oppression. Yet I feel better knowing there are other parents out there intent on family creation as an act of resistance.
Kudos to the editors, of whom I've gotten to know in person and through cyber space. I look forward to more productions such as this, dispatches from the lines of revolutionary mothering.
