Reviews

<p> Disability and Passing is innovative in its use of disability to analyze both the acts and ideologies of passing from a wide range of theoretical, topical, and disciplinary perspectives. The essays are strong and smart--some are brilliant. -- Kim E. Nielsen, Professor of Disability Studies and History, University of Toledo, and author of A Disability History of the United States <p>
