What can revolutionary disability politics teach us about building broader movements for liberation?
In Disability, Revolution, Robert McRuer moves beyond single-issue understandings of disability. Drawing on the convergence of crip and queer movements, Mad pride, disability justice, neurodiversity, and the globalization of disability alliances, McRuer shows how these multivalent movements help us imagine alternative disabled worlds.
Robert McRuer is Professor of English at George
Washington University and author of Crip Theory: Cultural Signs of Queerness and Disability and Crip Times: Disability, Globalization, and Resistance.
