Disability Studies and the Future of Identity Politics -- 5. Disability as Masquerade -- 6. Disability Experience on Trial -- 7. A Sexual Culture for Disabled People -- 8. Sex, Shame, and Disability Identity: With Reference to Mark O'Brien -- 9. Disability and the Right to Have Rights -- 10. Conclusion.
Summary: Intelligent, 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 key critical and cultural questions. Tobin Siebvers 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.
