Summary
Details

Disability and Empire: Class, US Imperialism, and the Struggle for Disability Justice aims to bring visibility to the liberation struggle of people with disabilities, adding an internationalist and class perspective-and making them the subject, not the object, of history.

Exploring the social construction of ""disability"" in the US, the authors look at the history of the disability rights movement, bringing in the stories and voices of those engaged in the daily fight for a better world: from solidarity with liberation struggles of the 1950s, '60s, and '70s; to building solidarity between care workers and clients; to the victories won by disability activists and the status of rights for people with disabilities today. This book also expands beyond the US, critically examining the role of U.S. imperialism in killing and disabling millions, as well as studying how other societies deal with disability. Looking ahead, it paints a picture of what disability justice may look like under socialism.
