‘Akemi Nishida’s Just Care uses ethnographic and autoethnographic methods to explore the neoliberal logics of care that shape the US health-care system. These methods, alongside interview data and perspectives from critical theory, provide an important contribution to the field of critical disability studies. Through her theorisation of a ‘multiplicity of care’ (p. 6), she considers how care can simultaneously act both as a mechanism of control and as a means towards liberation. Nishida follows traditions from within both academia and activism in order to engage keenly with debates at the core of critical disability studies’ Link
