Edited by disabled philosopher Shelley Lynn Tremain, the book offers new anti-ableist, anti-sexist, anti-racist, queer, anti-capitalist, anti-carceral, and decolonial insights and perspectives that counter these assumptions. It covers topics such as ableism and speciesism, disability, race, and algorithms, race, disability, and reproductive technologies, disability and music, disabled and trans identities and emotions, the apparatus of addiction, and disability, race, and risk. The authors argue that Western disability studies should be approached through the lens of African philosophy of disability and the developing framework of crip Filipino philosophy, and that common constructions of inclusion and accessibility have political and conceptual limits. The guide is essential reading for faculty and students in philosophy, disability studies, political theory, Africana studies, Latinx studies, womens and gender studies, LGBTQ studies, and cultural studies, as well as activists, cultural workers, policymakers, and everyone else concerned with social justice. \u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Paperback \/ softback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 624 pages\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e: 14 December 2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Bloomsbury Guide to Philosophy of Disability is a groundbreaking anthology that encompasses the most innovative and insurgent work in the field. Edited and anthologized by disabled philosopher Shelley Lynn Tremain, this book challenges the traditional representations and understandings of disability in philosophy. It critically undermines the harmful assumptions that various subfields of philosophy have made, resisting the institutionalized ableism prevalent in academia. Moreover, it boldly articulates new anti-ableist, anti-sexist, anti-racist, queer, anti-capitalist, anti-carceral, and decolonial insights and perspectives that challenge these assumptions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book's chapters, written primarily by disabled philosophers, cover a wide range of topics and are accessible to a broad readership. They delve into the eugenic impetus behind bioethics, address the whiteness of work on philosophy and disability, explore phenomenological, poststructuralist, and materialist approaches to various phenomena, and address issues such as ableism and speciesism, disability, race, and algorithms, race, disability, and reproductive technologies, disability and music, disabled and trans identities and emotions, the apparatus of addiction, and disability, race, and risk.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThrough the lens of African philosophy of disability and the developing framework of crip Filipino philosophy, the authors of this guide contest the assumptions of Western disability studies. They articulate the political and conceptual limitations of common constructions of inclusion and accessibility and foreground the practices that promote disability justice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Bloomsbury Guide to Philosophy of Disability is a vital resource for scholars, activists, and anyone interested in understanding the complexities of disability and challenging the dominant narratives. It is a testament to the power of philosophy to transform our understanding of the world and to promote a more inclusive and equitable society.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 938g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 156 x 234 x 36 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781350268906\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44917882618106,"sku":"9781350268906","price":27.44,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1703262358406_book.jpg?v=1703310347","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/the-bloomsbury-guide-to-philosophy-of-disability-9781350268906","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
