{"product_id":"becoming-disabled-jan-doolittle-wilson-9781793643711","title":"Becoming Disabled: Forging a Disability View of the World","description":"\u003cp\u003eUsing an autoethnographic approach, as well as multiple first-person accounts from disabled writers, artists, and scholars, Jan Doolittle Wilson describes how becoming disabled is to forge a new consciousness and a radically new way of viewing the world. In \u003ci\u003eBecoming Disabled\u003c\/i\u003e, Wilson examines disability in ways that challenge dominant discourses and systems that shape and reproduce disability stigma and discrimination. It is to create alternative meanings that understand disability as a valuable human variation, that embrace human interdependency, and that recognize the necessity of social supports for individual flourishing and happiness. From her own disability view of the world, Wilson critiques the disabling impact of language, media, medical practices, educational systems, neoliberalism, mothering ideals, and other systemic barriers. And she offers a powerful vision of a society in which all forms of human diversity are included and celebrated and one in which we are better able to care for ourselves and each other.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jan Doolittle Wilson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1793643717\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781793643711\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lexington Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/21\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 326\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Jan Doolittle Wilson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46293287272703,"sku":"9781793643711","price":42.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2355f237-a359-4638-b2c8-33e0ba38b84f.jpg?v=1730212829","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/becoming-disabled-jan-doolittle-wilson-9781793643711","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
