Why is this common human experience rendered exceptional? In \u003ci\u003eAll Our Families\u003c\/i\u003e, disability studies scholar Jennifer Natalya Fink argues that this originates in our families. When we cut a disabled member out of the family story, disability remains a trauma as opposed to a shared and ordinary experience. This makes disability and its diagnosis traumatic and exceptional. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWeaving 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 a 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eInspired by queer and critical race theory, Fink calls for a \u003ci\u003elineage of disability\u003c\/i\u003e a reclamation of disability as a history, a culture, and an identity. Such a lineage offers a means of seeing disability in the context of a collective sense of belonging, as cause for celebration, and is a call for a radical reimagining of carework and kinship. \u003ci\u003eAll Our Families\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Beacon Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/22\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780807003954\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2022 pg. 2\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Jennifer Natalya Fink","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41574217023669,"sku":"9780807003954","price":23.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_3982082b-4f3a-4908-b416-dc54f52c0668.jpg?v=1643691119","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/all-our-families-disability-lineage-and-the-future-of-kinship-9780807003954","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
