Care Work: Dreaming Disability Justice by Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha

5.0

this book is a good mixture of real experience and theoretical dreaming. the stories about organizing (and the times organization fell apart) were really eye opening and helped me understand how things like mutual aid and care networks are actually formed irl— and that they don’t have to be big or official.

way they wrote about gendered dynamics in caretaking work felt reductive —replacing man/woman with masc/fem just doesn’t cut it in a book whose target audience includes a lot of gender nonconforming people.
