Description
"In recent political times, disability identity has often been mobilized in ways that paradoxically compound bodily injury and disability. This single-issue disability rights approach furthers individual stories of triumph that obscure the oppression of disabled people. Such narratives actively work against solidarity across difference. In Disability, Revolution, Robert McRuer introduces very different alternatives to 'one-dimensional disability.' McRuer provides an accessible overview of disability justice movements and discusses their relevance to larger emancipatory coalitions. Exploring the most prominent movements from the past several decades, the book focuses on the convergence of queer and crip movements, mad pride, intersectional disability justice work, neurodiversity, and the globalization of disability alliances. Essential for anyone interested in disability politics, this book shows how these multivalent movements help us imagine alternative disabled worlds"--
