“Finally, a comprehensive and riveting account of how biopolitics during the age of neoliberalism renders people with disabilities available for various facades of social inclusion and acceptance. Focusing on the conjuncture of nationalism, ableism and what they call the 'abled-disabled,' Mitchell and Snyder insistently demonstrate the geopolitical inflections of the tensions between social and medical models as well as universalist and accommodationist approaches. Disability Studies has needed this book for a long time. The authors boldly call for an ethics of peripheral embodiment that demands nothing less than situating disability as intrinsic rather than exceptional to our imaginaries and practices of social justice.” —Jasbir Puar, Rutgers University
