Mothers of Adult Children
Mothers of Adult Children elucidates what happens when children come of age and leave home, creating new lives in the realms of work and relationships. Mothers from around the world learn that this is the point in which their relationships with their children must drastically change. Mothers often come to terms with the changes by accepting differences and providing moral and emotional support when needed. However, the evolutionary nature of mothers’ roles throughout the course of their children’s lives is not only determined by the mother-child dynamic. The mothering of adult children is a transformative role, and the stories presented here show that the dynamics between mother and child are also influenced by cultural events. Accidents, disasters, war, and other hardships also intervene in these stories of multicultural motherhood. This book reveals the problems mothers of adult children face and celebrates the outstanding accomplishments of those who mother through hardship.
What is Feminist Sociology?
What does it mean to say that there is a feminist sociology? And how might we engage the full potential of a “feminist sociological imagination”? These questions lie at the heart of Jo Reger’s slim guide to a powerful tool, which has a long history in US sociology and yet remains as urgently needed as ever. Grounded in a need to change both society and the discipline, feminist sociology challenges the foundations of traditional social science and articulates new ways of creating knowledge, doing research, and understanding the role of researchers and the people they study. Drawing on concepts such as positionality and reflexivity and emphasizing the importance of feminist ethics, emotions, activism, and transformation, this concise book traces out what it means to engage in feminist sociology and to claim the identity of a feminist sociologist.

His notoriety is legend as is the bounty on his head. The US will stop at nothing to finish him, targeting frien...
Black Eagle, Oregon
The town of Black Eagle, Oregon sits on the banks of the Columbia River at the foot of snow covered Mt. Hood. It is home to church going citizens, windsurfers and orchard workers.
