Description
Deborah Marks examines current theories and practices relating to disability. This analysis focuses on how disability has been historically and culturally constructed and psychically experienced, rather than disabled people as 'objects' of study. The chapters cover key areas such as language and discourse, the disabled people's movement, public policy, and knowledge and the politics of disability. By exploring these topics, Marks provides a nuanced understanding of the complex issues surrounding disability. This book is an essential resource for students on Disability Studies courses, as well as professionals and policy-makers in related fields.
