Anthropologist Jackson sheds light on the lives of 'men caring for children with major cognitive and physical disabilities' in his vulnerable and edifying debut. * Publishers Weekly *


Anthropologist Jackson sheds light on the lives of 'men caring for children with major cognitive and physical disabilities' in his vulnerable and edifying debut. * Publishers Weekly * Vulnerable narratives of fatherhood are few and far between; rarer still is an ethnography that delves into the practical and emotional realities of intensive caregiving. Grounded in the intimate everyday lives of men caring for children with major physical and intellectual disabilities, Worlds of Care undertakes an exploration of how men shape their identities in the context of caregiving. * Allegra Lab *
