Includes bibliographical references (pages 251-268) and index.
Disability: A Social Phenomenon -- Situating Disability: Mapping the Outer Limits -- Mapping Normalcy: A Social Topography of Passing -- The Expected and the Unexpected -- Disability Studies: The Old and the New -- Revealing Culture's Eye -- Betwixt and Between: Disability Is No-Thing. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.
"Disability, Self, and Society speaks with authenticity about disability as a process of identity formation within a culture that has done a great deal to de-emphasize the complexity of disability experience. Unlike many who hold the conventional sociological view of disability as a 'lack' or stigmatized identity, Tanya Titchkosky approaches disability as an agentive (not passive) embodiment of liminality and as a demonstration of socially valuable in-between-ness. She argues that disability can and should be a 'teacher' to, and about, non-disabled or 'temporarily abled' society, hence, the vital necessity that disability stays with us."--BOOK JACKET.
