Summary
"All Our Families: Finding Our Disability Lineages argues that disability is stigmatized because it is delineated-excised from our understanding of family, cut out from the story a family tells about itself, and proposes how finding and integrating disability in our family would transform our lived experiences of both family and disability"-- Provided by publisher.
