- Summary:
- Placing historians in conversation with anthropologists, sociologists with literary critics, and musicologists with political scientists, this Interdisciplinary volume presents a compelling case for reimagining citizenship that is more consistent, inclusive, and just, in both theory and practice. By placing disability front and center in academic and civic discourse, Civil Disabilities tests the very notion of citizenship and transforms our understanding of disability and belonging.
