Challenging Essentialism
Redaktion: Lesnik-Oberstein, K.

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Drawing from work in a wide range of fields, this book presents novel approaches to key debates in thinking about and defining disability. Differing from other works in Critical Disability Studies, it crucially demonstrates the consequences of radically rethinking the roles of language and perspective in constructing identities.
