Opis

This book studies disability in the context of its relationship with concepts such as culture/religion, media, literature, and gender to address the inherent failures in challenging prevalent stereotypical and oppressive ideologies.

Recenzje

"The Social Model of Disability in India: Politics of Identity and Power is a critical and insightful study that illustrates the divergent practices of the manifold interconnections between culture, disability, and representation. Thus, the book is highly recommended not only for scholars who are deeply interested in the theoretical aspects of disability study but also for those who want to do empirical work in different areas of this field."
