Disability, Self, and Society speaks with authenticity about disability as a process of identity formation within a culture that has done a great deal to de-emphasize the complexity of disability experience. The author approaches disability as an agentive (not passive) embodiment of liminality.She argues that disability can and should be a 'teacher' to, and about, non-disabled or 'temporarily abled' society.
