This edited volume brings together contributions on disability studies organized around two themes: literary and sociological aspects. The contributors include academics, disability activists, and researchers from within and outside the Indian periphery. While the book strengthens the disability discourse and contributes to building academic scholarship on this subject, it also promotes disability activism by giving space to both direct practitioners and persons with disabilities. The chapters discuss various analytical and literary aspects of the marginalization experienced by the disabled community and bring forth new and elaborate perspectives. It draws connections across multiple identities and includes personal narratives across nations, cultures and societies. It is an excellent research resource on disability studies in India for scholars and students in the area of humanities, education, law, sociology and social work, while at the same time also addressing the global context.

Industry Reviews

"The book takes a deep dive into the topic of disability ... . The book also sheds light on how Disability Studies has become an emerging academic field ... . I found the book to be well-organised and easy to comprehend, even though it covers some complex and medical aspects of disability. ... On the bright side, the book is available in a digital format that enables readers to keep track of any essay updates." (Nikita Yadav, Rhetorica - A Literary Journal of Arts, Vol. 4 (1), 2024)
