Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
This volume positions Black feminist mothering as much more than biological or caregiving role. Building on key Black feminist tenets, Dr. Carr examines Black women?s maternal labors as the radical proclamation of our ability to mother ourselves, tend to each other, and nourish our communities.
MoreLong description:
Black feminist mothering can birth new worlds. As today?s world becomes increasingly hostile?with the rising cost of food coupled with global warming?s devastating impact?we are in need of a feminism bold enough to imagine new pathways for survival. Black feminist mothering may well be the remedy. This volume positions Black feminist mothering as much more than a biological or caregiving role. Building on key Black feminist tenets, Carr examines Black women?s maternal labors as a practice and proclamation for mothering ourselves, tending to each other, and nourishing our communities. Far too often, Black women?s maternal, intellectual, and political labors are recognized only in service to white supremacist capitalism. Mammy. Breeder. Welfare queen. This text counters these dehumanizing iconographies to focus instead on the Black maternal?s imaginitive possibilities. Not only does Carr address Black women?s resistance to white supremacist power plays, but she also attends to Black heteropatriarchy and the burdens racial solidarity imposes on Black women. The Black maternal, Carr argues, is a cradle for Black revolution. As Assata Shakur famously declared, ?We are pregnant with freedom.?
