      title = {Disability and poverty in the global South : renegotiating  development in Guatemala /},
      abstract = {"The author provides unprecedented critical,  interdisciplinary explorations of the complex dynamics and  intersectionalities operating between disability and  poverty in rural areas, an assumed relationship that is too  often misunderstood. Reporting on long term ethnographic  work in Guatemala and prioritising the voices, knowledge  and narratives of disabled people and their families, Grech  offers an incisive and refined critical analysis of the  various complex barriers and interactions in the  disability/poverty/rurality nexus encountered by what Grech  calls 'disabled families'. The book opens up discussions on  a broad range of themes traversing conceptual, spatial,  historical, embodied, spiritual, racial, sexual and  gendered terrains among others. It challenges and reframes  established, often imposed discourses and practices, and  contests issues of (re)presentation, Eurocentrism, and  coloniality. Finally, it contributes new and uncharted  reflections for further debate, which are indispensable to  the emerging disability and development/global South  discourse, research and practice"--},
