Review # 1 was written on 2015-03-26 00:00:00 Steven Anderson very well structured and easily understandable book. as every book by Mairian Corker it was really helpful and made a lot of issues concerning deafness/disability much clearer to me. helpful for anyone who needs to write academic work about this topic, but also just an interesting read.

Review # 2 was written on 2019-11-13 00:00:00 Soulet Pascal I didn't like this book the first time I tried to read it, but after I took 16 credits of Marxist theory during my BA, I was able to fully appreciate its substantial value. It's the author's dissertation, I believe, and is a very important contribution to disability studies as a field. The author undertook the project as an anti-racist intervention in the extremely white- and north american-dominated field of Disability Studies, and the book attempts to survey radical disability organizations and activists around the world. The entire book is grounded in Marxist theory, so familiarity with key concepts like dialectics and alienation will greatly enhance your experience of the book.
