These essays illuminate the social, political and environmental realities that have been variably experienced as helpful and harmful to the citizenship of those identified as disabled. The authors provide meaningful conceptualization and develop lexicon which enhance understanding of the obstacles to full citizenship, membership and belonging. The resulting narrative is steeped in the everyday experience of differentness that illuminates the impact of economic, legal, political and social forces.\"-\u003ci\u003eSex and Disability\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"Nancy Hirschmann and Beth Linker have compiled a set of arguments both impressive and accessible. . . . The editors and authors seize the opportunity to rethink issues of citizenship and collectivity in societies intrinsically based on concepts of normativity and admittance, which repeatedly disadvantage a sizable proportion of the population. Taking into account congenital disability, illness, age and institutions, these approaches cover a wide and evocative set of antinormative political positions.\"-\u003ci\u003ePerspectives on Politics\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"\u003ci\u003eCivil Disabilities\u003c\/i\u003e leaves no doubt that disability is central to the history, theory, and acts of citizenship. This marvelous collection of smart and varied essays argues that ideologies of disability draw the lines of membership and belonging that shape all of our lives-legally, economically, politically, and socially. Scholars of citizenship, from both the humanities and social sciences, will benefit from this book.\"-Kim E.

Essays written by distinguished scholars educate us in this crucial area that is too often overlooked or given short shrift.

Various countries and international organizations have attempted to guard against discrimination and secure basic human rights for those whose lives are affected by disability. Yet despite such attempts many disabled persons in the United States and throughout the world still face exclusion from full citizenship and membership in their respective societies. They are regularly denied employment, housing, health care, access to buildings, and the right to move freely in public spaces. At base, such discrimination reflects a tacit yet pervasive assumption that disabled persons do not belong in society.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eCivil Disabilities\u003c\/i\u003e challenges such norms and practices, urging a reconceptualization of disability and citizenship to secure a rightful place for disabled persons in society. Essays from leading scholars in a diversity of fields offer critical perspectives on current citizenship studies, which still largely assume an ableist world. Placing historians in conversation with anthropologists, sociologists with literary critics, and musicologists with political scientists, this interdisciplinary volume presents a compelling case for reimagining citizenship that is more consistent, inclusive, and just, in both theory and practice. By placing disability front and center in academic and civic discourse, \u003ci\u003eCivil Disabilities\u003c\/i\u003e tests the very notion of citizenship and transforms our understanding of disability and belonging.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eContributors\u003c\/b\u003e: Emily Abel, Douglas C.
