Opis

The fantasy of disability provides those without disability with an imaginary sense of what a life of disablement must be like, while at the same time exerting tremendous pressure on disabled individuals to conform their identity and behaviour to fit within the margins of these societally perpetuated archetypes. This book explores where the creation and enforcement of fantasies of disability intersect, specifically when dealing with physical disability.
