Book Description
The first English-language collection of Latina/x caregiving testimonios, this volume gives voice to diverse Chicana/x and Latina/x caregiving experiences. Bringing together thirteen first-person accounts of how Latinx people deal with serious health conditions as caregivers, these testimonies highlight tragic flaws in the health-care system, how woefully undervalued caregiving is, and how as care recipients and caregivers, they have been harmed by the for-profit health-care system.
