Disability is of central concern to the developing world but has
largely been under-represented in global development debates,
discourses and negotiations. Similarly, disability studies has
overlooked both the theorists and the social experience of the
global South, and there has been a one-way transfer of ideas and
knowledge from the North to the South in this field. This volume
seeks to redress the processes of scholarly colonialism by drawing
together a diverse set of understandings, theorizing and
experiences. The chapters situate disability within the Southern
context and support the work of Southern disabled scholars and
activists seeking to decolonize Southern experiences, knowledges
and absences in the field while simultaneously attempting to make
an intervention into able-bodied (mainstream) development
discourses, practices and politics. This book was originally
published as a special issue of Third World Quarterly.
