The Three Mothers
In her groundbreaking and essential debut The Three Mothers, scholar Anna Malaika Tubbs celebrates Black motherhood by telling the story of the three women who raised and shaped some of America's most pivotal heroes: Martin Luther King, Jr., Malcolm X, and James Baldwin. Much has been written about Berdis Baldwin's son James, about Alberta King's son Martin Luther, and Louise Little's son Malcolm. But virtually nothing has been said about the extraordinary women who raised them, who were all born at the beginning of the 20th century and forced to contend with the prejudices of Jim Crow as Black women. Berdis, Alberta, and Louise passed their knowledge to their children with the hope of helpi...
Summary of Anna Malaika Tubbs's The Three Mothers
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Louise would become a symbol of resistance because the struggle for freedom pulsed through her veins. The blood of her ancestors carried with it messages of liberation, while the land that held her whispered tales of revolutions it had witnessed over the years. #2 Louise heard stories of resistance to colonial rule from her grandparents, who had been Liberated Africans by the British. They brought six children into the world, and Louise was raised on stories of the Carib Indians and revolutionaries like Fedon. #3 The lack of punishment for the perpetrators of sexual violence against women of color was not limited to Edith’s time. Many women have experienced this atrocity, and their stories will never be known, but the historian Danielle McGuire used her book At the Dark End of the Street to pay tribute to as many women as she could. #4 Edith gave birth to her first and only daughter, Louise, in 1897. Louise was light-skinned and easily passed as white, which caused her to face a choice of whether to declare her African descent and claim her Blackness, or not.

Psychotherapy East & West
Before he became a counterculture hero, Alan Watts was known as an incisive scholar of Eastern and Western psychology and philosophy. In this 1961 classic, Watts demonstrates his deep understanding of both Western psychotherapy and the Eastern spiritual philosophies of Buddhism, Taoism, Vedanta, and Yoga. He examined the problem of humans in a seemingly hostile universe in ways that questioned the social norms and illusions that bind and constrict modern humans. Marking a groundbreaking synthesis, Watts asserted that the powerful insights of Freud and Jung, which had, indeed, brought psychiatry close to the edge of liberation, could, if melded with the hitherto secret wisdom of the Eastern traditions, free people from their battles with the self. When psychotherapy merely helps us adjust to social norms, Watts argued, it falls short of true liberation, while Eastern philosophy seeks our natural relation to the cosmos.

All the Mothers are One
The book concludes with a brief reflection on mothering in contemporary America. Through a systematic critique of previous scholarship that has emphasized the individual and the universality of the Oedipus complex, All the Mothers Are One makes a significant, original, and ambitious contribution to the growing debate concerning the role of psychoanalysis in the interpretation of culture and in the study of childhood throughout the world.
