How can one write the history of disability, and what are the consequences for the disabled themselves? This is the key question that Pieter Verstraete addresses in this pioneering book that tries to rethink the possible bonds between disability, history and politics. Since the 1990’s the concept of disability has gained in prominence. Perhaps more than in other branches of historical enquiry, disability historians have attributed a crucial place to the notion ‘identity’. Re-cently, however, the suitability of identity for the realization of libera-ting and emancipatory politics for people with disabilities has been questioned. This book aims to incorporate some of the critical approaches towards identity and to suggest a complementary connection between history and political reform.

Rod Michalko launches into this book asking why disabled people are still feared, still regarded as useless or unfit to live, not yet welcome in society? Michalko challenges us to come to grips with the social meanings attached to disability and the body that is not "normal." Michalko's analysis draws from his own understanding of blindness and narratives by other disabled people. Connecting lived experience with social theory, he shows the consistent exclusion of disabled people from the common understandings of humanity and what constitutes the good life. He offers new insight into what suffering a disability means to individuals as well as to the polity as a whole. He shows how disability can teach society about itself, about its determination of what is normal and who belongs. Guiding us to a new understanding of how disability, difference, and suffering are related, this book enables us to choose disability as a social identity and a collective political issue. The difference that disability makes can be valuable and worthwhile, but only if we choose to make it so. Author note: Rod Michalko is Associate Professor of Sociology at St. Francis Xavier University. He is the author of The Mystery of the Eye and the Shadow of Blindness (1998) and The Two- in-One: Walking with Smokie, Walking with Blindness (Temple, 1999).

"Lisa, who suffered brain trauma at birth, is the hero of Jean O'Hart's poignant story. A story of her daughter's struggle where pain and tragedy walk side-by-side with an extraordinary quest for acceptance. 'A leaf in the wind' tracks Lisa's tumultuous life journey from birth through to her early-forties, in which each of life's gifts - good health, education, good relationships, a steady job, a home of her own - turn out to be hard-won in a world, which often seems callous and indifferent towards the suffering of less able people." - back cover.

Passing—an act usually associated with disguising race—also relates to disability. Whether a person classified as mentally ill struggles to suppress aberrant behavior to appear "normal" or a person falsely claims a disability to gain some advantage, passing is a pervasive and much discussed phenomenon. Nevertheless, Disability and Passing is the first anthology to examine this issue. The editors and contributors to this volume explore the intersections of disability, race, gender, and sexuality as these various aspects of identity influence each other and make identity fluid. They argue that the line between disability and normality is blurred, discussing disability as an individual identity and as a social category. And they discuss the role of stigma in decisions about whether or not to pass. Focusing on the United States from the nineteenth century to the present, the essays in Disability and Passing speak to the complexity of individual decisions about passing and open the conversation for broader discussion. Contributors include: Dea Boster, Allison Carey, Peta Cox, Kristen Harmon, David Linton, Michael Rembis, and the editors.

When a child is disabled, it affects the entire family. Whether blind, autistic, or ADHD, the mentally and physically disabled child calls for constant care, resulting in other children being shoved aside or called upon for extra support. Siblings often know each other longer than they will know their own parents, and able siblings are most often turned to for help with their disabled siblings from a young age into adulthood. What are the emotional effects of these children who were forced to care for their disabled siblings? Dr. Peggy Boone conducted a study to explore the long-lasting effects and problems within disabled families. When she questioned able siblings, she found guilt, anger, and sadness. These children, now adults, understand that their childhoods were full of a responsibility and shame that are not typical. Dr. Boone uses Jungian archetypes to explore the different ways siblings deal with their placement within disabled families. These innate types of behavior become a way for able siblings to measure all of their experiences, beliefs, and ideas. Whether the role of Warrior, Victim, Rescuer, or Martyr, these archetypes furnish basic patterns and instincts of behavior that may have enabled the siblings to become normally functioning adults despite the struggle against lingering shadows. Each archetype is full of personal anecdotes from able siblings in an effort to better understand the emotional impact on these families. Shadow Boxing: Siblings of the Disabled will furnish a model for siblings and parents who must deal with the discrepancy between conventional families and their own realities.
