"[A]n important book. It takes one of the most complex and misunderstood concepts in disabilities studies and serves it up in a number of contexts that make it more concrete and understandable to the common reader.... It provides both scholars and students with springboards to further research and a wealth of references to get them started.... Wilson and Brune are to be congratulated."-- Wordgathering: A Journal of Disability Poetry and Literature , September 2013 "Collapsing normalization into passing may be the most important concept in this anthology, and the editors' selection of passing issues is on the mark.... The anthology wonderfully complicates and adds depth to the whole notion of people with disabilities passing. Previously, scholars have been stuck with awkward metaphors of disability passing as similar to passing as white or passing as straight. The complications of race, sexuality, or gender are not neglected here, and make for a rich palette of ideas to be unpacked and explored. Summing Up: Highly recommended."-- Choice , November 2013, " Disability and Passing is innovative in its use of disability to analyze both the acts and ideologies of passing from a wide range of theoretical, topical, and disciplinary perspectives. The essays are strong and smart--some are brilliant."-- Kim E. Nielsen , Professor of Disability Studies and History, University of Toledo, and author of A Disability History of the United States , "[A]n important book.

Brune and Wilson's collection demands a spot on everyone's bookshelf." -- Tobin Siebers , University of Michigan

Synopsis
"Passing"OCoan act usually associated with disguising raceOCoalso relates to disability. Whether a person classified as mentally ill struggles to suppress aberrant behavior to appear normal or a person falsely claims a disability to gain some advantage, passing is a pervasive and much discussed phenomenon. Nevertheless, "Disability and Passing" is the first anthology to examine this issue.aThe editors and contributors to this volume explore the intersections of disability, race, gender, and sexuality as these various aspects of identity influence each other and make identity fluid.a They argue that the line between disability and normality is blurred, discussing disability as an individual identity and as a social category. And they discuss the role of stigma in decisions about whether or not to pass. Focusing on the United States from the nineteenth century to the present, the essays in "Disability and Passing" speak to the complexity of individual decisions about passing and open the conversation for broader discussion.a Contributors include: a Dea Boster, Allison Carey, Peta Cox, Kristen Harmon, David Linton, Michael Rembis, and the editors.a

- u***u (724)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseCarefully packaged book- arrived wrapped in plastic bag and shipped in cardboard box. As a frequent book buyer I appreciate this as so many books are just crammed into a plastic shopping bag and sent on their way- sometimes always hanging out of the bag. I know that Midtown Book Seller books will arrive as described. Shipped promptly. I’d highly recommend them as a seller.
- 9***n (325)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseExcellent experience with this eBay used book seller! The books arrived in perfect condition, as described, and their pristine condition exceeded my expectations. What impressed me most was the speed of shipping: the book arrived much earlier than expected. Furthermore, the packaging was careful and professional, ensuring the book arrived undamaged. Thanks a lot! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
- c***i (102)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseBook was in very good condition as described in the listing. It looked almost new, in fact, but the pages did have some yellowing around the edges, a sign of its age. The seller did an excellent job of wrapping and packing the book for shipment, which I greatly appreciate! He has earned his 100% feedback rating, I'd say. I'm extremely pleased with the seller and this transaction. Thank you!
