Reviews

This book represents the value posthumanism can bring to learning environments. It emphasizes learning as creativity in everyday life and criticizes stereotypes about learning and people with dementia. ... The text is a beautiful homage to people with dementia and affirms their position in society as valuable and worthy of education and attention. (Daisy Ahlstone, Disability Studies Quarterly, dsq-sds.org, Vol. 41 (1), 2021)
