The current neoliberal political economy has turned care into a business opportunity for the healthcare industrial complex and a mechanism of social oppression and control. Nishida analyzes the challenges people negotiate whether they are situated as caregivers, receivers, or both. Also illuminated is how people with disabilities come together to assemble community care collectives and bed activism (resistance and visions emerging from the space of bed) to reimagine care as a key element for social change. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The structure of care, Nishida writes, is deeply embedded in and embodies the cruel social order--based on disability, race, gender, migration status, and wealth--that determines who survives or deteriorates. Simultaneously, many marginalized communities treat care as the foundation of activism. Using interviews, focus groups, and participant observation with care workers and people with disabilities, \u003ci\u003eJust Care \u003c\/i\u003elooks into lives unfolding in the assemblage of Medicaid long-term care programs, community-based care collectives, and bed activism. \u003ci\u003eJust Care \u003c\/i\u003eidentifies what care does, and asks: How can we activate care justice or just care where people feel cared affirmatively and care being used for the wellbeing of community and for just world making? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Akemi Nishida\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1439919909\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781439919903\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Temple University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/15\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 279\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.86lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.60d","brand":"Akemi Nishida","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44066175811839,"sku":"9781439919903","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2bdad1cc-a400-4a77-b646-e60eed14edce.jpg?v=1685405738","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/just-care-akemi-nishida-9781439919903","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
