Motherlove in shades of black : the maternal psyche in the novels of African American women

Pillow, Gloria Thomas. (Author).

Summary: "This book examines the mother figure in six works: how the mother negotiates the ragged, hostile landscape of a prohibitive environment to love, protect, and raise her children. Informed by psychological analysis, it reveals the forces that create the unique tensions of the African American mother's life, strategies for survival, and nurturing she gives her children"--Provided by publisher.
