Abstract

AbstractThis essay is based on comments for the panel Sorrow as Artifact: Black Radical Mothering in Times of Terror. Historically, Black mothers have faced the loss of their children in a myriad of ways, through enslavement, infant mortality, and police and state sanctioned violence. The normalizations of these losses are violent in and of themselves. In this discussion, we see that Black motherhood and mothering cannot escape being a site of political struggle animated by the labor of pain and terror. Simultaneously, radical Black mothering challenges the erasure of Black children and their exclusion from societal concern.
