  • Ordinary Future: Margaret Mead, the Problem of Disability, and a Child Born Different

    BasicBinding: Paperback

    Author: Pearson, Thomas W

    Date Published: 09-2023

    ISBN: 0520388291 | EAN: 9780520388291

    BasicBinding: Paperback

    Features: Bibliography, Index | Pages: 222

    Annotation: "This vivid portrait of contemporary parenting blends memoir and cultural analysis to explore evolving ideas of disability and human difference. An Ordinary Future is a deeply moving work that weaves an account of Margaret Mead's path to disability rights activism with one anthropologist's experience as the parent of a child with Down syndrome. With this book, Thomas W. Pearson confronts the dominant ideas, disturbing contradictions, and dramatic transformations that have shaped our perspectives on disability over the last century. Pearson examines his family's story through the lens of Mead's evolving relationship to disability-a topic once so stigmatized that she advised Erik Erikson to institutionalize his son, born with Down syndrome in 1944. Over the course of her career Mead would become an advocate for disability rights and call on anthropology to embrace a wider understanding of humanity that values diverse bodies and minds.
