Professor Fraser's stimulating analysis of representative contemporary Spanish artistic works from the perspective of Disability Studies is groundbreaking research. The attention given to the specificity of the artistic materials in conjunction with a political stance that contests traditional Spanish representation of disability, convert Disability Studies and Spanish Culture into a pioneering scholarly model in a largely unexplored field of scholarship. -- Encarnacion Juarez-Almendros The first of its kind, Fraser's highly engaging book breaks new ground in the fields of disability studies and Spanish literary and cultural studies, while opening a vital space of dialogue between these disciplines. The author's rigorous attention to Spanish disability politics allows him to elaborate an original and convincing context for the contemporary works he studies, through lucid analyses of literature, film, comics and other media. This book is a significant contribution to current scholarship on nationally specific disability literatures, and undoubtedly will spark further interest, debate and research on Spanish cultural representations of disability. -- Susan Antebi, The first of its kind, Fraser's highly engaging book breaks new ground in the fields of disability studies and Spanish literary and cultural studies, while opening a vital space of dialogue between these disciplines.
