anthology on mothering across cultures

By Suzanne Kamata

What happens when your child doesn’t speak your native language? Should you invite your German-American in-laws to your Diwali celebration? How can you raise a child with two cultures without fracturing his/her identity? In our increasingly global society, more and more mothers are facing questions such as these.

In order to explore these issues, I’m putting together an anthology of essays by mothers who are raising children across cultural boundaries. This would include writings by mothers from non-Western cultures in the U.S., mothers who’ve adopted children from abroad; Western mothers in the U.S. married to fathers from different cultures, and mothers living abroad.

Contributors will receive a copy of the book, a discount on additional copies and international exposure in exchange for non-exclusive world rights. Please send essays (1500-3000 words) pasted in the body of an email message to sue kamata (@) msn . com by July 15, 2008.
