Dangerous Discourses of Disability, Subjectivity and Sexuality, Paperback

This innovative and adventurous work uses broadly feminist and postmodernist modes of analysis toexplore what motivates damaging attitudes and practices towards disability. Margrit Shildrick argues for the significance of the psycho-social imaginary, and suggests a way forward in disability's queering of normative paradigms.
