""Enforcing Normalcy was identified as a pioneering work soon after its initial publication. Now it is recognised as a true classic in the field of cultural disability studies and the humanities more broadly. Beautifully written and extensively researched, it remains essential reading for anyone interested in learning about the normative backdrop against which disability is so often characterised. Certainly it will always be a point of reference in my own work on sociocultural representations of disability."" --David Bolt, Director of Centre of Culture and Disabilities Studies, Liverpool Hope University ""Enforcing Normalcy was a shock to academia when it came out in 1995--it was one of the first stones in the foundation of an emerging discipline that located disability art, culture, and history in a single matrix. Thirty years later, Davis's pioneering study remains as important as the day it was published, and provides a unique intergenerational understanding of the history of disability studies."" --Joseph Grigley
