The current neoliberal political economy has turned care into a business opportunity for the healthcare industrial complex and a mechanism of social oppression and control. Nishida analyzes the challenges people negotiate whether they are situated as caregivers, receivers, or both. Also illuminated is how people with disabilities come together to assemble community care collectives and bed activism (resistance and visions emerging from the space of bed) to reimagine care as a key element for social change.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe structure of care, Nishida writes, is deeply embedded in and embodies the cruel social order-based on disability, race, gender, migration status, and wealth-that determines who survives or deteriorates. Simultaneously, many marginalized communities treat care as the foundation of activism. Using interviews, focus groups, and participant observation with care workers and people with disabilities, \u003ci\u003eJust Care\u003c\/i\u003e looks into lives unfolding in the assemblage of Medicaid long-term care programs, community-based care collectives, and bed activism. \u003ci\u003eJust Care\u003c\/i\u003e identifies what care does, and asks: How can we activate care justice or just care where people feel cared affirmatively and care being used for the wellbeing of community and for just world making?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAkemi Nishida\u003c\/b\u003e is an Assistant Professor of Disability and Human Development and Gender and Women's Studies at the University of Illinois Chicago.
