Memory Care

“A poignant meditation on grief, loss, and love. This is the book that Black mothers and daughters deserve. It reveals an intellectual, in her prime, holding her heart and mind in one hand while the other guides the reader to consider all the ways that one can lose their mother. I cannot stop thinking about this book. I do not want to stop thinking about this book.” - Tressie McMillan Cottom, author of Thick: And Other Essays

"This tender, gorgeous, gutting book stands in the very best traditions of the beautiful Black feminist writing that Jennifer Nash, one of our most prolific and important feminist theorists, has been so careful to document." - Brittney Cooper, Professor and author, NYT Bestseller, Eloquent Rage

“In a striking shift of form, Jennifer Nash’s Memory Care offers a stirring and often moving exploration of contemporary experiences of grief and loss through a series of richly drawn personal essays. It is a portrait of grief that is both ordinary and extraordinary. Nash invites us to consider the intimate contours of loss as they shape several layers of connection: intimate, familial, historical, social, and even human.” - Mecca Jamilah Sullivan, author of Big Girl
