Description
Robert Chapman's groundbreaking book explores the history of the 'normal' mind as a damaging tool of capitalism. By examining the rise of neurodiversity and disability movements, Chapman reveals how capitalism created an 'empire of normality' that transformed our understanding of the body into a productivity machine.
Chapman argues that a radical politics of neurodiversity is necessary for collective liberation, not just for neurodivergent individuals. This book exposes the myth of the 'normal' brain as a product of intensified capitalism and offers a vital guide to understanding the systems that shape our bodies, minds, and deepest selves.
By challenging the deepest logics of capitalism, Chapman offers a path to neurodivergent liberation. With their expertise as a neurodivergent philosopher and educator, Chapman provides a nuanced and thought-provoking analysis of the complex relationships between neurodiversity, capitalism, and social justice.
