Femonationalism, Militarism, and Resistances to Authoritarian Good Motherhood in Russia Afterword Bibliography Appendices Index This book explores constructions of the good mother within diverse nations and nationalisms, focusing on three contexts grappling with distinct forms of demographic anxiety. Inspired by Sara Farris inquiry into femonationalism and utilizing maternalism and politics of care as critical theoretical instruments, the book analyses the evolving political and social expectations imposed upon mothers in Lithuania, migrant mothers, including postsocialist migrant mothers from Central Asia and Caucasus in Sweden, and women in the militarizing authoritarian Russian states construction of maternity within its traditional values agenda. It also probes both how good motherhood is enacted and contested by individual mothers, as well as how it is mobilized in resisting conservative, ethnonationalist tendencies and militarism (in the case of Russia). The books chapters illuminate the roles of political and social actors engaged with renegotiating materialist politics-such as grassroots birth activist movements and maternalist social policy campaigns-as well as those defying militarism.
