摘要

Love, Sex, and Disability is a comprehensive primer on the current views on the role of care and disability, how these affect research and the media, and ways to circumvent these mostly negative views. Sarah Smith Rainey is clearly a passionate academic and activist who deconstructs the disabledondisabled relationship and the role of care without hesitation. As a reader, it would be simply impossible to put the book down without examining your own role in perpetuating or changing assumptions about the individuals in these relationships. The book explores the positive aspects of care, drawing from a wide range of sources. In fact, the breadth of this book may be its weakness. Given the small amount of literature on this, the reader can perhaps forgive some sections that may feel rushed. Dr. Rainey has provided a text that tackles a critical topic, and providers and researchers alike will find relevant information to inform their work.
