Making Down Syndrome

Motherhood and Kinship Futures in Urban Jordan

Beschreibung

This book examines how the label and identity of Down syndrome is gaining increasing cohesiveness in Jordan's capital city of Amman. Focused on the experiences of mothers, who serve as an entry point for understanding broader family dynamics and choices, the book argues that practices and ideologies of care play a central role in making Down syndrome's lived realities through the momentum of kinship futures.
