ABSTRACT This Afterword to the special issue “Mothering Practices in Times of Legal Precarity: Activism, Care, and Resistance in Displacement” relates the authors’ findings regarding how displaced women adapt their mothering practices to the uncertain legal situations in which they live to key terms in ethnic and racial studies. For each of these key terms—mothering, practices, time, and legal precarity—we learn how the authors and the actors they study construct ideas, through which processes and with which consequences. The Afterword reviews the profound effect of legal precarity on the intersection of mothering practices, time orientations, gendered racialization, and belonging across multiple spaces. It outlines the interplay of structure and agency, biography and history.
