Disability and Society
Author: Patrick McDonnellPublisher: Orpen Press
ISBN: 1842182277
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 298
Book Description
Disability and Society: Ideological and Historical Dimensions explores the changing relationship between disability and society in Western culture from early modern times to the present, with a particular emphasis on Ireland. The author identifies the main ideologies and practices that have shaped the relationship between disability and society, describes how these emerged over time and discusses their continuing impact on social, political and cultural life today. Rather than interpreting disability in medical or clinical terms, the author places disability in a broad historical and socio-political framework and links changing responses to disability with other important social, political and cultural movements. As well as being a valuable addition to the field of disability studies, Disability and Society is also essential reading for students of the social sciences, psychology, education, equality and health studies, and for policy makers.

Disability and Colonialism
Author: Karen SoldaticPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317239369
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 211
Book Description
The mapping, control and subjugation of the human body and mind were core features of the colonial conquest. This book draws together a rich collection of diverse, yet rigorous, papers that aim to expose the presence and significance of disability within colonialism, and how disability remains present in the establishment, maintenance and continuation of colonial structures of power. Disability as a site of historical analysis has become critically important to understanding colonial relations of power and the ways in which gender and identity are defined through colonial categorisations of the body. Thus, there is a growing prominence of disability within the historical literature. Yet, there are few international anthologies that traverse a critical level of depth on the subject domain. This book fills a critical gap in the historical literature and is likely to become a core reader for post graduate studies within disability studies, postcolonial studies and more broadly across the humanities. The chapters in this book were originally published as articles in Social Identities: Journal for the Study of Race, Nation and Culture.
