Congratulations to Professor Kelly Fritsch on the publication of her new book, Broken Worlds, Disabled Kin: Strategies for Collective Survivalco-authored with Anne McGuire. Responding to the ways hostile social and economic structures such as racial capitalism, neoliberalism, and settler colonialism unevenly target certain populations and environments, the authors put forward the making of disabled kin as a way to foster solidarity and collective survival in a world all too often broken by design.
