Description

Book Synopsis
Incorporating a textual analysis of ordinary depictions of disability, this innovative study promises to represent embodied differences in new ways and alter our imaginative relations to the politics of the body.

Trade Review
"Titchkosky has written an important book that examines and showcases 'disability meaning making.' Her book has made a significant contribution to the literature not only on disability, but on the broader discourse of diversity, difference and change." Elizabeth DePoy, Review of Disability Studies vol 06:02:2010
