Cultural Locations of Disability by Sharon L Snyder
Traces how disabled people came to be viewed as biologically deviant. This book explains how disabled people are instrumental to charting the passage from a disciplinary society to one based upon regulation of the self. The author reveals cracks in the social production of human variation as aberrancy.
Sharon L. Snyder and David T. Mitchell are faculty in the Department of Disability and Human Development and the Interdisciplinary PhD Program in Disability Studies at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Together they have made four documentary films, authored three books, and led seminars in disability as a matter of pedagogy, politics, culture, and history.
