Description

Addressing Ableism: Philosophical Questions Via Disability Studies by Jennifer Scuro explores the scale and scope of ableism, mapping out its institutionalized forms and critiquing neoliberal culture and politics that underwrite it. Through a critical examination of theorists like Judith Butler, Tobin Siebers, Emmanuel Levinas, and Hannah Arendt, Scuro exposes the material and non-material harms of ableism and offers avenues to confront and resist it. This book provides crucial insights into the uninhabitable effects of ableism and how we might revise our intentions and desires for a less ableist world. A dialogical chapter on intersectionality with Devonya Havis and Lydia Brown adds depth to this project, highlighting the complexities of ableism in relation to other forms of dehumanization and oppression. By examining ableism through a philosophical lens, Scuro offers a nuanced understanding of this pervasive bias and its impact on individuals and society.
