{"product_id":"disability-mothers-and-organization-melanie-panitch-9780415958509","title":"Disability, Mothers, and Organization: Accidental Activists","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book examines how and why mothers with disabled children became activists. Leading campaigns to close institutions and secure human rights, these women learned to mother as activists, struggling in their homes and communities against the debilitating and demoralizing effects of exclusion. Activist mothers recognized the importance of becoming advocates for change beyond their own families and contributed to building an organization to place their issues on a more public scale. In highlighting this under-examined movement, this book contributes to the scholarship on Disability Studies, Women's Students, Sociology, and Social Movement Studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Melanie Panitch\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415958504\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415958509\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/08\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 234\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.06lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.56d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2008 pg. 176","brand":"Melanie Panitch","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48064977404159,"sku":"9780415958509","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_09ffed8c-af12-48c4-8a2b-9067c2e66b0c.jpg?v=1768672314","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/disability-mothers-and-organization-melanie-panitch-9780415958509","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
