Reviews
'... these essays focus on the suffering and pathos of the disability experience. ... Recommended.' Choice 'The essays in this excellent book are adept at showing how the victimization of the disabled is produced and legitimated through constructions of the disabled body as both threat and moral obligation. These writers consistently challenge the cliches that dominate thinking about disability by negotiating the shoals of both social realism and posthumanist triumphalism in ways that will open up these issues for a wide range of scholars and students.' Terry Rowden, The City University of New York, USA
