Using an autoethnographic approach, as well as multiple
first-person accounts from disabled writers, artists, and scholars,
Jan Doolittle Wilson describes how becoming disabled is to forge a
new consciousness and a radically new way of viewing the world. In
Becoming Disabled, Wilson examines disability in ways that
challenge dominant discourses and systems that shape and reproduce
disability stigma and discrimination. It is to create alternative
meanings that understand disability as a valuable human variation,
that embrace human interdependency, and that recognize the
necessity of social supports for individual flourishing and
happiness. From her own disability view of the world, Wilson
critiques the disabling impact of language, media, medical
practices, educational systems, neoliberalism, mothering ideals,
and other systemic barriers. And she offers a powerful vision of a
society in which all forms of human diversity are included and
celebrated and one in which we are better able to care for
ourselves and each other.
