*******************************************
Precarious Motherhood explores the experiences of racially minoritised moth=
ers living with insecure immigration status and financial hardship in Londo=
n, UK. It exposes the impact of hostile immigration policies and precarity =
on mothers' interpersonal relationships and access to support. The author d=
raws attention to how mothers manage the constraints they face and enact be=
longing. She then explores the impact on mothers' couple relationships, fri=
endships, adult kin relationships and faith-based networks. The book underl=
ines the vital role of personal relationships in providing access to resour=
ces and support, but also demonstrates how precariously positioned mothers =
must carefully navigate relational tensions in their everyday lives. It hig=
hlights how social infrastructure facilitates relational practices, helping=
mothers to sustain their children's wellbeing and their own.
