This book will be of significance for activists, researchers and scholars seeking to identify the pivotal role of disability in maintaining colonial control of local populations. Largely drawing upon new historical material, it illuminates the criticality of disability to colonial administrative systems of power. The chapters in this book were originally published as articles in Social Identities: Journal for the Study of Race, Nation and Culture.
