The fifth edition of The Disability Studies Reader addresses the post-identity theoretical landscape by emphasizing questions of interdependency and independence, the human-animal relationship, and issues around the construction or materiality of gender, the body, and sexuality. Selections explore the underlying biases of medical and scientific experiments and explode the binary of the sound and the diseased mind. The collection addresses physical disabilities, but as always investigates issues around pain, mental disability, and invisible disabilities as well. Featuring a new generation of scholars who are dealing with the most current issues, the fifth edition continues the Reader's tradition of remaining timely, urgent, and critical.
If legislation like the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 can be seen as major leaps forward in creating a legal and political climate of inclusion for the disabled, Lennard Davis' groundbreaking anthology The Disability Studies Reader may be seen as carrying that same spirit of progress into the academic and the world of cultural studies.

What is disability? What is disability studies? The first edition of The Disability Studies Reader played a foundational role in leading beginning students and advanced scholars to these questions. The newest edition of this canonical anthology, the best one yet, offers an ideal selection of texts through which to explore how both the field and the concept of disability itself are being reconsidered, resisted, extended and reclaimed.
Susan Schweik, Professor of English, UC Berkeley
Disability experiences are diverse, nuanced and deeply political. As scholars, advocates and policy-makers, we need to think more and better - and this volume is the best place to start.
