Although there has been an increase in literature regarding
children of color with disabilities, it mainly focuses on their
experiences in one social context. Crises of Identifying:
Negotiating and Mediating Race, Gender, and Disability within
Family and Schools includes narratives on the familial and
educational experiences in public, private, and institutional
educational settings of five African American adults who have
disabilities associated with blindness, cerebral palsy, and speech
impairment. As a deaf African American female, the author and
researcher also highlights her familial and educational experiences
throughout the book as a frame of analysis. This book can serve as
a literary resource to academics and educational programs and/or
institutions as well as an informational guide to parents,
teachers, administrators, and paraprofessionals/ caregivers of
children with disabilities regarding the significance of
leadership, advocacy, activism, and identification development
within familial and educational contexts on the experiences of
children including the impact of complex dynamics that exist within
and between families and schools. Hopefully, this book will provide
parents, teachers, administrators, and paraprofessionals with an
understanding and comprehension of complexities concerning
disability, gender, and race within family and schools including
their association with crises of identifying, essentialist
discourses, as well as power and privilege dynamics. This book
consists of nine chapters which are organized into three parts.
Part I focuses on background, rationale, theoretical and
methodological underpinnings of the research this book is based on.
Part II introduces the reader to the narratives of five African
Americans with disabilities. Each narrative provides insights into
the lived experiences and leadership qualities of two males and
three females. Part III presents the concluding chapters of the
book and highlights the significance of this research for the
educational field including disability studies, teacher education
programs, and special education.
