Invisible Mothers

"This book is filled with the voices and understandings of marginalized mothers, and we come to see how their invisibility and hypervisibility delineate their lives and their experiences as mothers after incarceration."--Michelle Hughes Miller, coeditor of Bad Mothers: Regulations, Representations, and Resistance "An extremely valuable window into a particularly marginalized group, one that is often left out of criminal justice-reform conversations. Few books examine criminalized women's experiences with such a wide-angle lens."--Allison McKim, author of Addicted to Rehab: Race, Gender, and Drugs in the Era of Mass Incarceration "With rich, powerful narratives and analysis, Invisible Mothers exposes the mechanisms of oppression and hypersurveillance that produce unrelenting obstacles for formerly incarcerated African American, West Indian, and Latina mothers."--Hillary Potter, author of Intersectionality and Criminology: Disrupting and Revolutionizing Studies of Crime
