Celebrating the 25th Anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act: Book Spotlight

To inspect the subject of disability, one must also take into consideration other factors that affect the disabled. Disability and Passing: Blurring the Lines of Identity's main topic may be the idea of a disabled person passing as "normal," but the book as a whole takes an inter-sectional look at disability and passing by examining how race, sex, gender, class, and history all contribute to how the disabled function in society. With chapters like "Passing as Sane, or How to Get People to Sit Next to You on the Bus," "The Menstrual Masquerade," "'I Made Up My Mind to Act Both Deaf and Dumb': Displays of Disability and Slave Resistance in the Antebellum American South," and more, this book is an invaluable resource on the complexity and nuances of the individual experiences of people with disabilities.
