Review Quotes
"Bloom writes in an accessible style and clearly knows her field from the inside. She draws on an array of concepts and research discussions--from intersectionality and embodiment to disability theory, to mention a few of her perspectival bases. The various conceptual discussions in the book are grounded in the author's concrete cases and her ethnographic fieldwork... Expanding on the power of such support groups as cathartic rituals rather than opportunities for learning new strategies in life, Bloom's book highlights a way to move forward."-- "Affilia: Feminist Inquiry in Social Work"
