<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><em>Rethinking Normalcy</em> introduces the growing field of disability studies to an undergraduate audience in a variety of disciplines and programs based in the social sciences, humanities, and health sciences. The authors articulate the depth and breadth of this newly emerging field of study and provide a vibrant foretaste of the kind of work disability studies scholars and activists do to provocatively question the power of normalcy.<br /><br />Strongly interdisciplinary, this volume draws upon many different social and cultural approaches to the study of disability, and essentially addresses disability as a <em>social</em> and <em>political</em> issue. <br /><br />The chapters in this book exemplify ways of questioning our collective relations to normalcy, as such relations affect the lives of both disabled and currently non-disabled people.<br /><br />Over sixty per cent of this book features the work of disability studies scholars located in Canada. </p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"In Rethinking Normalcy the editors provide an exciting and comprehensive collection of works that foreground the study of disability in Canada." - Jacqueline Low, Department of Sociology, University of New Brunswick<br>
