It takes us on a journey into the lives of African American families caring for children with serious chronic medical conditions, and it foregrounds the uncertainty that affects their struggles for a good life. Challenging depictions of moral transformation as possible only in moments of breakdown or in radical breaches from the ordinary, it offers a compelling portrait of the transformative powers embedded in day-to-day existence. From soccer fields to dinner tables, the everyday emerges as a moral laboratory for reshaping moral life. Cheryl Mattingly offers vivid and heart-wrenching stories to elaborate a first-person ethical framework, forcefully showing the limits of third-person renderings of morality.  606 $aChronically ill children$xMedical care$xMoral and ethical aspects$zCalifornia$zLos Angeles County 606 $aChildren with disabilities$xMedical care$xMoral and ethical aspects$zCalifornia$zLos Angeles County 606 $aAfrican American families$zCalifornia$zLos Angeles County 606 $aMedical anthropology$zCalifornia$zLos Angeles County 606 $aMedical ethics$zCalifornia$zLos Angeles County 610 $aafrican american families. 610 $aamerican dream. 610 $aamerican studies. 610 $aanthropology of morality. 610 $aanthropology. 610 $abreakdown. 610 $achronic illness. 610 $acultural studies. 610 $aethical framework. 610 $aethnographic research. 610 $aeveryday occurances. 610 $afamily. 610 $afirst person perspective. 610 $agenerational. 610 $ahealth care. 610 $ahealth. 610 $ahuman condition. 610 $alove. 610 $amoral life. 610 $amoral transformation. 610 $amorality. 610 $aparenthood. 610 $apersonal experiences. 610 $apolitics. 610 $aradical change. 610 $aserious chronic medical conditions. 610 $astruggle for a good life. 610 $atransformative power. 610 $auncertainty. 610 $aunited states of america. 615 0$aChronically ill children$xMedical care$xMoral and ethical aspects 615 0$aChildren with disabilities$xMedical care$xMoral and ethical aspects 615 0$aAfrican American families 615 0$aMedical anthropology 615 0$aMedical ethics 676 $a362.19892009794/93 686 $aSOC002000$aMED035000$aSOC026000$2bisacsh 700 $aMattingly$b Cheryl$f1951-$01131774 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910826956203321 996 $aMoral laboratories$93958613 997 $aUNINA
