- More about Trauma and Motherhood in Contemporary Literature and Culture

Trauma and Motherhood in Contemporary Literature and Culture redefine motherhood studies by examining the complexities of conception, pregnancy, and postpartum experiences through the lens of trauma theory. This comprehensive volume explores nine compelling case studies of motherhood trauma and recovery in literature and culture from the past two decades. By delving into the emotional ramifications of these experiences through the lens of trauma, resilience, and "working through" theories, the chapters shed light on the profound emotional consequences of motherhood trauma.
Contributions to this volume engage with a transnational corpus spanning five continents, covering topics that are often overlooked, such as pregnancy denial, surrogacy, voluntary or involuntary childlessness, racism and motherhood, carceral mothering practices, surrogacy, IVF, artificial wombs, and mothering through war, genocide, and migration. Accompanied by an online creative supplement, this volume delves into the silenced aspects of embodied motherhood while enhancing our understanding of the cathartic effects of storytelling.
By examining the intersection of trauma and motherhood, this book offers valuable insights into the experiences of women and challenges the traditional narratives surrounding motherhood. It provides a platform for exploring the emotional toll of trauma on mothers and the resilience and healing that can arise from their stories. This volume is a must-read for scholars, researchers, and anyone interested in understanding the complex dynamics of trauma and motherhood in contemporary society.
