| Synopsis: |
In today's society there is increasingly becoming a global recognition of pain relief as a basic human right. However, as Susan Honeyman argues in this original new take on child pain and invisible disability, such a belief has historically been driven by adult, ideological needs whereas the needs of children in pain have traditionally been marginalised or overlooked in comparison. Examining migraines in children and the socially disabling effects that chronic pain can have, this book uses medical, political and cultural discourse to convey a sense of invisible disability in child migraine sufferers and its subsequent oppression within hegemonic educational and medical policy. The book is supported by authentic migraineurs' experiences and first-hand interviews as well as testimonials from a range of historical, literary, and medical sources never combined in a child-centred context before. Representations of child pain within literature, art and popular culture are also pulled together in order to provide an interdisciplinary guide to those wanting to understand migraine afflictions in children and the identity politics of disability more fully.Child Pain, Migraine and Invisible Disability will appeal to scholars in childhood studies, children's rights, literary and visual culture, disability studies and medical humanities. It will also be of interest to anyone who has suffered from migraines or has cared for children affected by chronic pain. |
