Disability and Passing Reviews
"Disability and Passing, cuts to the heart of disability identity, revealing as never before the centrality of passing to how disabled people think about themselves. Brune and Wilsons collection demands a spot on everyone's bookshelf."--Tobin Siebers, University of Michigan
"Disability and Passingis innovative in its use of disability to analyze both the acts and ideologies of passing from a wide range of theoretical, topical, and disciplinary perspectives. The essays are strong and smartsome are brilliant."--Kim E. Nielsen, Professor of Disability Studies and History, University of Toledo, and author ofA Disability History of the United States
