Abstract

Book Reviews 275 promote certain women’s access to motherhood and dissuade others, who are deemed unfit to take on the responsibilities. This book is an excellent resource to students and faculty in social work, women and gender studies, sociology, cultural studies, and law. It is well written and offers critical insights on motherhood and its constructions, restorative justice, racialized women’s reproductive rights, gender, and sexuality. Anyone who is planning to pursue a career in antioppressive child wel- fare and wants to work in women’s programs will benefit immensely from the discussion of how policies and laws are informed by discourses. Although this book is grounded in the social and polit- ical climate of the United States, it is still relevant to in its description of how good/bad parenting is constructed and the heightened surveillance of certain marginalized families in child welfare pro- grams across Canada.
