Naming the disability

Submitted by Anne Dalke on Fri, 11/09/2007 - 7:11am.

Following up on YJ's thoughts about the intersections of disability and race, I thought folks might take an interest in the February 16, 2003 New York Times Magazine article in which the disability rights activist Harriet McBryde Johnson describes her Day as a Token Cripple; you'll see it's hosted on a website for "anyone seeking progress in racial reconciliation." You may also find of interest both McDermott and Vareene's Culture as Disability, and Varenne's follow-up essay (written especially for Serendip!) On the Inevitability of Cultural Disabilities.
