Item description from seller

Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Behind every political biography lies a silence - the names not spoken, the family members hidden, the bodies deemed unfit for public memory. For centuries, disability was not merely a medical condition but a stain that political dynasties feared could unravel their legacies. Families concealed their disabled members from public life, driven by shame and the relentless pressure of a society that equated worth with physical and mental capacity.This book traces the quiet erasures embedded in political history - the figures who were institutionalized, the relatives who vanished from official records, the heirs who were written out of dynastic narratives. It examines how stigma functioned not only as a social force but as a political instrument: shaping succession, silencing dissent, and rewriting the past for the comfort of those in power.From the deliberate concealment practiced by political elites to the structural invisibility imposed upon disabled families across Europe and beyond, these stories reveal a hidden architecture of exclusion. Even leaders who themselves lived with disability - including those who carefully managed their public image to suppress any association with 'abnormal' conditions - reinforced the very stigma that crushed ordinary families.To read political history through the lens of disability is to encounter a different kind of power: fragile, fearful, and deeply human. The silences speak as loudly as the monuments.…
