Critics Review
“Rhythms of Care is relevant not just to anthropology, where it contributes to a variety of subfields and theoretical discussions, but also to critical disability and autistic studies, and has the potential to be of interest and accessible to disabled and autistic activists and parents, and across a wide range of scholarly disciplines.
