Disability and Culture

Rating:
Summary: An Excellent Introduction to Disability and Culture
Review: Published in 1995 this collection was on the edge of the disability studies movement. Though later text may have surpassed this early edition it is invaluable for it's "medical anthropology" approach to viewing aspects of disability. It contributes to the growing body of literature that examines disability as a socio-political construction rather than just a medical condition.
