{"product_id":"the-minority-body-elizabeth-barnes-9780198822417","title":"The Minority Body: A Theory of Disability","description":"Elizabeth Barnes argues compellingly that disability is primarily a social phenomenon--a way of being a minority, a way of facing social oppression, but not a way of being inherently or intrinsically worse off. This is how disability is understood in the Disability Rights and Disability Pride movements; but there is a massive disconnect with the way disability is typically viewed within analytic philosophy. The idea that disability is not inherently bad or sub-optimal is one that many philosophers treat with open skepticism, and sometimes even with scorn. The goal of this book is to articulate and defend a version of the view of disability that is common in the Disability Rights movement. Elizabeth Barnes argues that to be physically disabled is not to have a defective body, but simply to have a minority body.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elizabeth Barnes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0198822413\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198822417\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.50d","brand":"Elizabeth Barnes","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43988091437311,"sku":"9780198822417","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e8d74b49-1f34-417b-974b-a4de2f82af1d.jpg?v=1683292571","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-minority-body-elizabeth-barnes-9780198822417","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
