Spurred by the United Nation's International Decade for Disabled
Persons and medical anthropology's coming of age, anthropologists
have recently begun to explore the effects of culture on the lives
of the mentally and physically impaired. This collection of essays
both reframes disability in terms of social processes and offers a
global, multicultural perspective on the subject. Using research
undertaken in a wide variety of settings - from a longhouse in
central Borneo to a community of Turkish immigrants in Stockholm -
contributors explore the significance of mental, sensory and motor
impairments in light of fundamental, culturally determined
assumptions about humanity and personhood.
