Abstract
“I don’t want to be a burden!” is a statement that finds itself at the centre of familiar relationships between social actors as well as in structural relationships that frame disability and normalcy. A mother and daughter respond back, challenging its meaning as a nuanced articulation to demand citizenship rights.
