Youth, Disability, and Resistance offers a powerful account of how young disabled people across Europe are reshaping disability activism and reimagining the future of social change. Drawing on rich empirical research, Miro Griffiths examines why activism matters to young disabled people, what restricts their participation, how social movements can become more inclusive, what forms of resistance are needed to challenge unjust social worlds, and what needs to be considered regarding the future of disabled people’s resistance practices.It is argued that young disabled activists are not marginal within disabled people’s social movements. Their participation and influence are essential to the renewal, sustainability, and transformative potential of disabled people’s resistance. Young disabled people’s activism emerges as both defensive and world-making – protecting hard-won rights while also imagining accessible, inclusive, and interdependent futures. Griffiths shows how participation is shaped by hostility, inaccessibility, financial precarity, and exclusions around age and expertise, while also highlighting the importance of hope, knowledge exchange, collective solidarity, and intersectional organising.Combining conceptual depth with activist insight, this book positions disability activism as a creative and disruptive force. It will be essential reading for scholars and students of disability studies, youth studies, sociology, and social movement studies, as well as for activists, civil society organisations, and policymakers committed to justice and liberation.

Ableism produces measurable harm – to bodies, minds and lives. This book argues it should be understood not just as structural oppression, but as violence.Drawing on definitions of violence from the World Health Organization and sociologist Sylvia Walby, Beckett and Griffiths develop an original four-part violence-typology: direct harmful acts, failures to act, discretionary denial of care and policy withdrawal of support. Theorising ableism as a dispositif of violence, they apply this framework to hate crimes, microaggressions, institutional confinement, assisted dying and the deprioritisation of disabled lives during COVID-19.Weaving rigorous analysis with dialogue between a disabled academic-activist and non-disabled ally, this is scholarship as resistance – naming violence where it is too often obscured.
