Summary:

Beginning with a foreword by scholar and activist Angela Y. Davis, Disability Incarcerated offers an outstanding collection of interdisciplinary scholarship examining the incarceration and segregation of people with disabilities in the United States and Canada. This volume argues that disability is central to understanding the varied forms of incarceration and their manifestations through time and place. The essays together reveal that a consideration of disability broadens the conceptualization of incarceration beyond prisons to a range of places that detain, segregate, and warehouse people with atypical and/or devalued bodies/minds; each contributor explores specific ways that incarceration occurs, in medical institutions, prisons, segregated schools, detention centers, and beyond. Disability Incarcerated encourages a much-needed dialogue between scholars and activists from numerous fields who seek to deepen our understanding of mass incarceration and disability. Book jacket.
