Mothering and Matrifocality in Contemporary Caribbean Literature (Peter Lang, 2026) examines representations of mothering and matrifocality in twenty-first-century Caribbean fiction. Through an analysis of several contemporary novels from Anglophone-Caribbean writers, this study rejects the historic problematization of matrifocality (mother-centeredness) as an alternative to the nuclear family structure by positioning it instead as a vital and capacious building block of Caribbean worlds. In this book, the author also explores literary portrayals of mothering (the care work carried out by mothers, othermothers, grandmothers and more) that resist stereotypical characterization of Caribbean mother-figures.
