Abstract

This landmark study traces the life histories of approximately 300 teenage mothers and their children over a seventeen-year period. From interview data and case studies, it provides a vivid account of the impact of early childbearing on young mothers and their children. Some remarkable and surprising results emerge from this unique study of the long term adaptation to early parenthood. It also offers refreshing insights into the unexplored connections between mothers' careers and the development of their children. Adolescent Mothers in Later Life will be an invaluable resource for all those interested in teenage pregnancy.

Abstract

Mother-Scholar presents another way of knowing. The book illuminates the narratives of prominent mother-scholars in the discipline of education who are determined to (re)imagine a different educational space not only for their own children, but for all children. Today’s schools are male-centered institutions in which standardized testing, rational mind, and emotionless space prevent children from realizing their full potential as creative, intelligent and soulful beings. Mother-scholars in the discipline of education assert that when motherhood and intellect confront and inform each other, a new thinking emerges to capture the possibility of humanizing education beyond the private relationships between mothers and children.

Abstract

Dans l'Afrique d'aujourd'hui, on observe non seulement la permanence des coutumes ancestrales dans le quotidien des populations rurales et urbaines, mais aussi de nombreuses innovations... Il ne s'agit pas seulement de pratiques de contournement ou de détournement du Droit moderne, mais surtout d'alternatives qui se situent dans l'entre-deux. Les relations matrimoniales et les relations entre les sexes sont déterminées en particulier par de nouvelles logiques sociales. Dans un contexte de crise généralisée, la vie au quotidien se caractérise en effet par une modification des rôles au sein du couple. Si les statuts des époux restent inchangés, les rapports parents/enfants sont en revanche complètement bouleversés, la situation matérielle des parents entraînant souvent une déficience de l'autorité parentale. Dans le domaine de la parenté, l'émergence de nouvelles formes de sociabilité (le quartier, la rue, l'administration, la vie politique, le NMR...) engendre par ailleurs une néo-parenté primant parfois sur la parenté généalogique.

Abstract

On aborde, dans cet ouvrage, le rôle du tempérament dans l'ajustement à l'adolescence, les liens entre diverses mesures du tempérament, la contribution génétique dans certaines facettes du tempérament ainsi que les liens entre le tempérament et la relation mère-enfant. On y illustre le fait que l'enfant nous arrive avec des caractéristiques bien à lui, mais aussi les difficultés engendrées par ce construit dans le travail de recherche et d'intervention.

Abstract

How I Lost My Mother is a deeply felt account of the relationship between a mother and son, and an exploration of what care for the dying means in contemporary society. The book is emotionally complex - funny, sad and angry - but above all, heartfelt and honest. It speaks boldly of challenges faced by all of us, challenges which are often not spoken about and hidden, but which deserve urgent attention. This is first and foremost a work of the heart, a reflection on what relationships mean and should mean. There is much in the book about relationships of care and exploitation in southern Africa, and about white Jewish identity in an African context. But despite the specific and absorbing references to places and contexts, the book offers a broader, more universal view. All parents of adult children, and all adults who have parents alive, or have lost their parents, will find much in this book to make them laugh, cry, think and feel.
