Reviews

""The Double Bind of Disability is a generous, timely, and essential contribution to understanding the current politics that shape medical technology and disability in the context of neoliberal ableism. Rejecting the moral imperative to fix disabled bodyminds, Rebecca Monteleone instead advocates for a 'new embodied knowledge politic.' A book that I will be thinking-making-feeling with for many years to come!""--Laura Forlano, Northeastern University ""Smart and convincing, The Double Bind of Disability explores fascinating case studies of recent biomedical technologies. Rebecca Monteleone brings together critical disability studies and critical health and science studies, arguing that users of these technologies face a neoliberal double bind, their embodied experiences dismissed at the same time they are held accountable.""--Lisa Diedrich, author of Illness Politics and Hashtag Activism
