Bending over Backwards: Disability, Dismodernism & Other Difficult Positions 
by Lennard J. Davis
Unlike race, gender, and sexual orientation, disability remains one of the least examined or explored areas of human categorization. This book challenges that lack of scholarly examination diving into topics of the body including its relation to politics, the environment, and the legal system. Bending over Backwards also argues that the topic of disability exhibits the very nature of postmodernism by being widely seen as a deviation from normalcy, whereas issues like race and gender merely serve as variations in categories. This is a unique look into a frequently ignored topic and should be read by anyone wishing to expand their understanding of disability.
