Description
Disfigured On Fairy Tales: Disability, and Making Space by Amanda Leduc Amanda Leduc explores how fairy tales shape our expectations and behaviour, and how they influence our understanding of disability. She examines the ways in which disabled characters are often mocked and mistreated in traditional stories, and argues that this reflects a broader societal attitude towards disability. Leduc looks at how these narratives can have real-world effects, and how we can use storytelling to challenge and change them. Her book is a thought-provoking study that invites readers to consider their favourite folktales from a new perspective. By investigating the intersection of disability and fairy tales, Leduc sheds light on the power of language and its impact on our understanding of difference.
