Showing how hostile social and economic structures such as racial capitalism, neoliberalism, and settler colonialism unevenly target certain populations and environments, Kelly Fritsch and Anne McGuire pose a radical means of response: the making of disabled kin. Urgent and passionate, Broken Worlds, Disabled Kin equips us with a politics of solidarity and collectivity with which to begin making a more life-supporting world.
