The Oxford Handbook of Music and Disability Studies represents a
comprehensive state of current research for the field of Disability
Studies and Music. The forty-two chapters in the book span a wide
chronological and geographical range, from the biblical, the
medieval, and the Elizabethan, through the canonical classics of
the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, up to modernist styles and
contemporary musical theater and popular genres, with stops along
the way in post-Civil War America, Ghana and the South Pacific, and
many other interesting times and places. Disability is a broad,
heterogeneous, and porous identity, and that diversity is reflected
in the variety of bodily conditions under discussion here,
including autism and intellectual disability, deafness, blindness,
mobility impairment often coupled with bodily difference, and
cognitive and intellectual impairments. Amid this diversity of
time, place, style, medium, and topic, the chapters share two core
commitments. First, they are united in their theoretical and
methodological connection to Disability Studies, especially its
central idea that disability is a social and cultural construction.
Disability both shapes and is shaped by culture, including musical
culture. Second, these essays individually and collectively make
the case that disability is not something at the periphery of
culture and music, but something central to our art and to our
humanity.
