Beverley Clough and Jonathan Herring, "Disability, Care and Family Law" (Routledge, 2021)
Disability, Care and Family Law\xa0(Routledge 2021)\xa0examines the issues at the intersection of disability, care and family law. Professors Beverley Clough and Jonathan Herring\xa0challenge dominant narratives in family law, which disadvantage people with disabilities. The book enables the questioning of\xa0structural norms\xa0in policy and society which situates disability as private\xa0familial concern. It calls to the forefront marginalised voices to unveil complexities in seemingly neutral\xa0laws when\xa0applied to people with disabilities. The book engages with highly topical issues - for example, mothering a child who is in prison and is disabled, children who care for their disabled parents, deprivations of liberty of children with disabilities, and more. By bringing these complex issues together, the book\xa0moves beyond\xa0the dyad between care and disability relations in the context of family law. This is an important book for disability lawyers, family lawyers and scholars of vulnerability, care theory and relational theory. It will have significant implications for policy makers and practitioners.\xa0\nProfessor Beverley Clough\xa0is a Professor of Law and Social Justice at Manchester Metropolitan University.
