Through a rich ethnography of people’s experiences with allergies and with advocacy for better recognition and treatment, it focuses on the downloading of care and responsibility to manage food allergies onto families. In doing so, Danya Glabau not only illustrates the highly gendered, racialized, and heteronormative assumptions that configure allergy science and treatment, she also argues that allergy advocacy itself ends up reinforcing this problematic reproductive politics rather than challenging it. An essential read for anyone interested in the intersection of healthcare, patient advocacy, and technoscience.\"-Kean Birch, co-editor of \u003ci\u003eAssetization: Turning Things into Assets in Technoscientific Capitalism\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \"This is an exploration into the realities of food allergy care like no other.

In \u003ci\u003eFood Allergy Advocacy\u003c\/i\u003e, Danya Glabau follows parents and activists as they fight for allergen-free environments, accurate labeling, the fair application of disability law, and access to life-saving medications for food-allergic children in the United States. At the same time, she shows how this activism also reproduces the culturally dominant politics of personhood and responsibility, based on an idealized version of the American family, centered around white, middle-class, and heteronormative motherhood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy holding up the threat of food allergens to the white nuclear family to galvanize political and scientific action, Glabau shows, the movement excludes many, including Black women and disabled adults, whose families and health have too often been marginalized from public health and social safety net programs. Further, its strategies are founded on the assumption that market-based solutions will address issues of social exclusion and equal access to healthcare. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSharing the personal experiences of a wide spectrum of people, including parents, support group leaders, physicians, entrepreneurs, and scientists, \u003ci\u003eFood Allergy Advocacy\u003c\/i\u003e raises important questions about who controls illness activism.
