Danya Glabau, Food Allergy Advocacy: Parenting and the Politics of Care.

"Danya Glabau, Food Allergy Advocacy: Parenting and the Politics of Care" is an ethnography that explores the role of food allergy activism in the United States. The book argues that food allergy advocacy perpetuates White affluence and heteronormative family relations as conditions for health and well-being. It also examines how mainstream biomedical interventions hold mothers responsible for managing allergies in the home. The book highlights the gendered work of allergy management and the capitalist interests that shape the treatment of allergies. It concludes by calling for social changes that prioritize the safety of all individuals rather than relying on narrow biomedical fixes. [Extracted from the article]
