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. Free download: https://bit.ly/4iEufYX
