Reviews

Schweik delivers a compelling and insightful examination of disability norms, municipal law, and American culture... She gives voice to the fascinating stories of the unsightly, the alienated, and the excluded. A valuable contribution for anyone interested in disability theory, poverty law and policy, and social history. Paul Steven Miller, Director, Disability Studies Program, University of Washington The book is beautifully written, delightfully thought-provoking, and deeply researched. It is quite honestly the best work of scholarship I have read in a long time. Douglas C. Baynton, author of Forbidden Signs
