Beskrivning

Remapping an Ableist World examines the forces shaping our lives in an able capitalist world. It draws on examples including human enhancement and the organ trade to illustrate connections between able capitalist ways of life, impairment, disability, and oppression.The book addresses ableness as a regime of power and oppression intrinsic to global capitalism and, as such, a system that touches all of our lives, albeit in different ways. Vera Chouinard offers an intersectional analysis of the production of impairment and disability, drawing on autoethnographic and autobiographical methodologies, case studies of disability in the Global South and North, and comparative accounts of processes such as the uneven development of disability law. Inviting readers to rethink the causes and consequences of the ableist capitalist order in which we find ourselves, Remapping an Ableist World reminds us that for our own well-being and that of generations to comes we must forge a less destructive and more nurturing way of life.

Recensioner i media

“Neo-liberal global capitalism, Chouinard writes, shapes our lives as disabled and ‘mad’ people, positioning so many on the edge of humanity. Incisively showing how impairment is given shape on geographically uneven ground, Chouinard maps disabled life in the university and wider communities, directing us toward the need for change. Re-mapping an Ableist World resists the replication of oppression, making this essential reading for those who dare to imagine a better world while despairing of the current one.”
