SUMMARY:Online Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Join us online to discuss the book All Our Families by Jennifer Natalya Fink \nWeaving together stories of members of her own family with sociohistorical research\, Fink illustrates how the eradication of disabled people from family narratives is rooted in racist\, misogynistic\, and antisemitic sorting systems inherited from Nazis. By examining the rhetoric of genetic testing\, she shows that a fear of disability begins before a child is even born and that fear of disability is\, fundamentally\, a fear of care. Fink analyzes our racist and sexist care systems\, exposing their inequities as a source of stigmatizing ableism. All Our Families challenges us to re-lineate disability within the family as a means of repair toward a more inclusive and flexible structure of care and community. \nREGISTER NOW\n \n \n \n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n Your Name:\n \n \n Your Email:\n \n \n Your Phone:\n \n \n Organization\, if applicable:\n \n \n If you need an accommodation\, please specify:
