Abstract

ABSTRACT:

How does disability relates to Political Theory? How do theories grapple with human diversity and different capabilities? With these foci, Disability and Political Theory (2016) amasses essays concerning state of the art scholarship in an interdisciplinary array, edited by Barbara Arneil and Nancy G. Hirschmann. However, many questions are still left unanswered. What should be the method concerning Disability Studies? Is there a disabled identity? How to intersect with scientific data and other sciences? Are models necessary? What should be prioritized amongst scarce resources? This book review aims at engaging dialectically with each chapter, analysing merits and issues, while still sketching solutions.
