Reviews

Hans's book is moulded within the justice-equality framework and identifies women with disabilities as one of the most severely excluded marginal groups... Disability, Gender and the Trajectories of Power should be regarded as a significant contribution to the discourse on gender and disability at a time when disability studies is only beginning to be recognized in Indian academic circles. -- Indian Journal of Gender Studies, Volume 23 (Issue 3), October 2016 Asha Hans[ The Author] has compiled a diverse collection of scholarship and personal narratives that purports to shed light on the analytical and empirical stakes of combining a gender and disability analysis. -- Contribution to Indian Sociology, Volume 50(Issue 3), October 2016 The book by Asha Hans provides a comprehensive interpretation of disability as is evident from its title, Disability, Gender and the Trajectories of Power. It is indeed a fresh approach quite different from the usual works that focus on persons with disabilities and specifically, women with disabilities...the book provides a vivid analysis of numerous issues concerning women with disabilities and this is further validated through detailed accounts of personal experiences. -- Social Change, Vol 46 (Issue 4), December 2016
