Huge congratulations to Dr Rachel Williamson (ENGL / CINE / COME), whose book 21st-Century Narratives of Maternal Ambivalence has been published this week by Palgrave Macmillan in the series Palgrave Studies in (Re)Presenting Gender. The book is builds on Rachel’s Cultural Studies PhD thesis to consider how recent popular literary and film works about motherhood mark a shift from maternal ambivalence to maternal resilience. This is a terrific and timely book that pokes around in areas often neglected by mainstream scholarship, and that presciently taps in to an important cultural moment. Ngā mihi nui ki a koe Rachel!
