The Resistance, Persistence and Resilience of Black Families
Raising Children with Autism presents nuanced perspectives in the
form of counternarratives of what Black families who have children
with autism experience at the intersection of race, class,
disability and gender. It intentionally centers the expertise of
Black parents, challenging what is considered knowledge, whose
knowledge counts, and how knowledge can be co-generated for
learning, sharing and advocacy. The book speaks directly to Black
parents on the autism journey. To right systemic racial inequities
and to cultivate culturally responsive practices, it is critical
for practitioners and professionals to understand what is known
about Black families' experiences with autism in general and how
these experiences differ because of our intersecting identities.
University faculty and students in programs involving medicine,
speech and language pathology, occupational therapy, nursing,
political science, school psychology, teaching, special education
and leadership can benefit from the wisdom offered by these
parents. This text is perfect for several courses, including those
in departments of anthropology, women and gender studies, health
sciences, psychology, special education, teacher education and
administrative leadership. In addition, given the uniquely Black
perspective presented in the text, this text is relevant to other
fields, including ethnic studies, cultural studies, urban studies
and African American studies. It is relevant to individuals who
wish to better understand how issues of race and intra-racial
differences shape lived experiences with disability in American
society.
