Review
“This is a needed book, with a much-needed focus . . . to further the argument put forth in disability studies that ‘disability’ is a socially-constructed label and that the material circumstances of ‘disabled’ people’s lives are closely tied to ‘non-disabled’ society’s construction of those lives. It also argues for the agency of the disabled: for their right to speak for themselves.”―Patricia A. Dunn, author of Learning Re-Abled: The Learning Disability Controversy and Composition Studies
