"Divided into fifteen chapters, this book provides the reader with an insight into
certain representations of mothers and motherhood in history and today's societies
in some areas of the world, notably in Asia. Key facts about the history of motherhood
are presented, together with the use of very recent notions and phrases portraying
'good' and 'bad' mothers. An analysis of the concepts of naming and blaming, along
with regret with respect to mothers in twenty-first century societies, provides food
for thought. Other issues addressed are varied and numerous: the politics of early
intervention, feminist critique, mothers with disabilities and mothers of disabled
children, incarcerared mothers, surrogate mothers, teenage mothers, lesbian mothers,
and mothering in Eastern Asia, namely in China, Japan, and Korea. Interestingly, both
visual arts and literature play a crucial role in this analysis. The publication will
appeal to students, academics, researchers, and the general public interested in and
seeking to comprehend the shifts which have occurred over time in connection with
the vast and inexhaustible subject of motherhood and mothers - a private and public
matter. Readers are also provided with a rich reference section dealing with the latest
publications on the issues tackled by prominent academics and researchers in human
geography, women's studies, sociology, gender studies, contemporary history, and the
arts"
