The authors provide meaningful conceptualization and develop lexicon which enhance understanding of the obstacles to full citizenship, membership and belonging. The resulting narrative is steeped in the everyday experience of differentness that illuminates the impact of economic, legal, political and social forces.\" * \u003ci\u003eSex and Disability\u003c\/i\u003e. *\u003cbr\u003e\"Nancy Hirschmann and Beth Linker have compiled a set of arguments both impressive and accessible. . . . The editors and authors seize the opportunity to rethink issues of citizenship and collectivity in societies intrinsically based on concepts of normativity and admittance, which repeatedly disadvantage a sizable proportion of the population. Taking into account congenital disability, illness, age and institutions, these approaches cover a wide and evocative set of antinormative political positions.\" * \u003ci\u003ePerspectives on Politics\u003c\/i\u003e *\u003cbr\u003e\"\u003ci\u003eCivil Disabilities\u003c\/i\u003e leaves no doubt that disability is central to the history, theory, and acts of citizenship.
