Testimonios of Care Feminist Latina/x and Chicana/x Perspectives on Caregiving Praxis

The Department of Chicana/o Studies is excited to celebrate the newest book by Professor Natalia Deeb-Sossam, Professor Yvette G. Flores, and Professor Emerita Angie Chabram! Their latest book, "Testimonios of Care: Feminist Latina/x and Chicana/x Perspectives on Caregiving Praxis" is the first English-language collection of Latina/x caregiving testimonios.

Testimonios of Care gives voice to those who often are voiceless in histories of caregiving and is guided by Chicana and Latina feminist principles, which include solidarity between women of color, empathy, willingness to challenge the patriarchal medical health-care systems, questioning traditional gender roles and idealization of familia, and caring for self while caring for loved ones and community.
