It is like nothing else in the disability studies canon. Faye Ginsburg and Rayna Rapp are already major figures in the field, standing for decades at the still-too-sparsely-trafficked crossroads of disability studies and anthropology, and this book will become a standard reference point.” -- Michael Bérubé, author of * Life as Jamie Knows It: An Exceptional Child Grows Up * “Having already forged disability studies and disability-inclusive practices within anthropology, Faye Ginsburg and Rayna Rapp author a powerful new theoretical framework for understanding the multiple institutional and cultural dynamics of ableism. Looking beyond the past, the book also evokes disability futures in beautifully rendered ethnographies of scholars, artists, and activists who are leading efforts at disability reworlding. I cannot imagine teaching my medical anthropology course again without Disability Worlds.” -- Carolyn M.
