| Description: |
How can one write the history of disability, and what are the consequences for the disabled themselves? This is the key question addressed in this pioneering book that rethinks the possible bonds between disability, history, and politics. Since the 1990s, the concept of disability has gained in prominence. Perhaps more than in other branches of historical enquiry, disability historians have attributed a crucial place to the notion 'identity.' Recently, however, the suitability of identity for the realization of liberating and emancipatory politics for people with disabilities has been questioned. This book incorporates some of the critical approaches towards identity and suggests a complementary connection between history and political reform. |
