Grounded in intimate moments of family life in and out of
hospitals, this book explores the hope that inspires us to try to
create lives worth living, even when no cure is in sight. "The
Paradox of Hope" focuses on a group of African American families in
a multicultural urban environment, many of them poor and all of
them with children who have been diagnosed with serious chronic
medical conditions. Cheryl Mattingly proposes a narrative
phenomenology of practice as she explores case stories in this
highly readable study. Depicting the multicultural urban hospital
as a border zone where race, class, and chronic disease intersect,
this theoretically innovative study illuminates communities of care
that span both clinic and family and shows how hope is created as
an everyday reality amid trying circumstances.
