Description: Disability Theory by Tobin Anthony Siebers Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Boldly rethinks theoretical questions of the last thirty years from the vantage point of disability studies Publisher Description "Disability Theory is just the book weve been waiting for. Clear, cogent, compelling analyses of the tension between the social model of disability and the material details of impairment; of identity politics and unstable identities; of capability rights and human interdependence; of disability and law, disability as masquerade, disability and sexuality, disability and democracy---theyre all here, in beautifully crafted and intellectually startling essays. Disability Theory is a field-defining book: and if youre curious about what disability has to do with theory, its just the book youve been waiting for, too."---Michael Bérubé, Pennsylvania State University"Disability Theory is magisterially written, thoroughly researched, and polemically powerful. It will be controversial in a number of areas and will probably ruffle feathers both in disability studies as well as in realms of cultural theory. And thats all to the good."---Michael Davidson, University of California, San Diego"Not only is Disability Theory a groundbreaking contribution to disability studies, it is also a bold, ambitious and much needed revision to a number of adjacent and overlapping fields including cultural studies, literary theory, queer theory, and critical race studies. Siebers has written a powerful manifesto that calls theory to account and forces readers to think beyond our comfort zones."---Helen Deutsch, University of California, Los AngelesIntelligent, provocative, and challenging, Disability Theory revolutionizes the terrain of theory by providing indisputable evidence of the value and utility that a disability studies perspective can bring to key critical and cultural questions. Tobin Siebers persuasively argues that disability studies transfigures basic assumptions about identity, ideology, language, politics, social oppression, and the body. At the same time, he advances the emerging field of disability studies by putting its core issues into contact with signal thinkers in cultural studies, literary theory, queer theory, gender studies, and critical race theory.Tobin Siebers is V.
