Summary:

Tracks the narratives that have emerged from the community of parent-memoirists who, since the 1980s, have written in resistance of their children's exclusion from culture. Apgar demonstrates that in the process of telling these stories parental memoirists write their children into dominant cultural narratives about gender, race, and class.
