Summary:

This eclectic collection of academic essays, creative writing, and mixed media photo-images focuses on myriad representations of disability. In its various components, the volume covers time periods from the seventeenth century to the contemporary era, diverse geographic areas, and genres from plays to novels to short stories to poems to visual depictions. The essays gathered here are grounded in analyses from disability studies, postcolonial studies, and trauma studies, among others, and will be of interest not only to scholars working in these fields, but also to Hispanists and those who pursue interdisciplinary studies.
