520    "Informed by news stories, such as those of the fatal 
       shootings of Oscar Grant and Trayvon Martin, and engaged 
       with ongoing popular and academic discussions of work and 
       family conflict, Mothering While Black makes significant 
       contributions to the sociology of work and family, race 
       and ethnicity, and gender and culture. Using the 
       analytical lens of intersectionality, it demonstrates that
       the frameworks typically deployed in research on middle-
       class mothers and their families, which usually focus on 
       the experiences of elite white mothers, do not adequately 
       capture the experiences of African American middle-class 
       and upper-middle-class mothers. Through sixty in-depth 
       semistructured interviews with African American middle-
       class and upper-middle-class women, Mothering While Black 
       distills the experiences of these contemporary mothers, 
       revealing the cultural expectations and constraints that 
       inform their approaches to parenting, work and family, and
       childcare. Through their accounts, this book demonstrates 
       how race, class, and gender complicate their parenting 
       concerns and strategies, and identifies three aspects of 
       African American middle-class identity that study 
       participants worked to foster in their children. Through 
       this research, the book expands on and revises theories 
       related to parenting, racial identity formation, and 
       family and work conflict by complicating existing 
       frameworks for understanding the cultural pushes and pulls
       that influence mothers' decision-making"--Provided by
