Description: "Just Care examines care as a site where the somatic, the political economy, and intersectional social oppressions manifest and materialize interactively, while it is also a vision and praxis for radically collective and affectionate ways to live and transform society."--

Review Quotes: "Nishida offers an innovative and eloquent examination of the multiplicity of care--care as a tool of surveillance and oppression, a commodity, a relational act that builds embodied knowledge and connection, and a revolutionary act that fundamentally challenges the violent degradation of certain bodies.... Just Care is profound in its criticism of the neoliberal U.S. care industrial complex and in its commitment to envisioning just systems of care that respect crip wisdom and value all lives. It offers a deeply personal, political, and poignant contribution to care studies.... Just Care is an important work that will fundamentally reshape conversations about care in American society. It is highly relevant to scholars and activists in the fields of disability studies, care, welfare, health, justice, feminist scholarship, and critical race analysis."--Social Forces
