{"product_id":"the-oxford-handbook-of-disability-history","title":"The Oxford Handbook of Disability History","description":"Disability history exists outside of the institutions, healers, and treatments it often brings to mind. It is a history where disabled people live not just as patients or cure-seekers, but rather as people living differently in the world--and it is also a history that helps define the fundamental concepts of identity, community, citizenship, and normality. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Oxford Handbook of Disability Histor\u003c\/em\u003ey is the first volume of its kind to represent this history and its global scale, from ancient Greece to British West Africa. The twenty-seven articles, written by thirty experts from across the field, capture the diversity and liveliness of this emerging scholarship. Whether discussing disability in modern Chinese cinema or on the American antebellum stage, this collection provides new and valuable insights into the rich and varied lives of disabled people across time and place.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMichael Rembis\u003c\/strong\u003e is Associate Professor of History and Director of the Center for Disability Studies at the University at Buffalo.
