Writers Lee Smith and Samia Serageldin have curated a diverse and insightful collection that challenges stereotypes about mothers and expands our notions of motherhood in the South. The mothers in these essays were shaped, for good and bad, by the economic and political crosswinds of their time. Whether their formative experience was the Great Depression or the upheavals of the 1970s, their lives reflected their era and influenced how they raised their children. The writers in 'Mothers and Strangers' explore the reliability of memory, examine their family dynamics, and come to terms with the past"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Mothers $z Southern States. 650 0 $a Mother and child. 650 7 $a Mother and child. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01026878 650 7 $a Mothers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01026940 651 7 $a Southern States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01244550 655 7 $a Essays. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919894 655 7 $a Essays. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919922 700 1 $a Serageldin, Samia, $e editor. 700 1 $a Smith, Lee, $d 1944- $e editor. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20200204023713.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=78817CDC6CA011E9A39CB90697128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
