The Disability Studies Reader Bewertungen

The Disability Studies Reader is a classic of invention, intervention, and interdiciplinarity. Contesting at every juncture the arbitrariness of signs such as normal, natural, healthy, and able bodied, the collection rewrites epistemologies of pedagogy and research long considered standard. The work's judgments are rejuvenating, its observations insightful, its creativity a gift.-Houston Baker, English, Vanderbilt University

Over the past 15 years, disability studies have grown not only along with, but because of, Lennard Davis's Disability Studies Reader. This anthology provides a flexible, advanced overview of the state of scholarship on disability in the humanities and reaffirms the DSR's position as the must have text for those venturing into disability studies at any level.-Robert A. Wilson, Philosophy, University of Alberta

Professor Davis has compiled an outstanding selection of essays from leading American and international disability scholars and activists. The book is a comprehensive survey of disability culture, politics, identity, history, and fiction that can both enlighten the educated student of disability studies and serve as an introduction to the disability experience.-Paul S. Miller, Law, University of Washington
