Sarah Dauncey offers the first comprehensive exploration of
disability and citizenship in Chinese society and culture from 1949
to the present. Through the analysis of a wide variety of Chinese
sources, from film and documentary to literature and life writing,
media and state documents, she sheds important new light on the
ways in which disability and disabled identities have been
represented and negotiated over this time. She exposes the
standards against which disabled people have been held as the
Chinese state has grappled with expectations of what makes the
'ideal' Chinese citizen. From this, she proposes an exciting new
theoretical framework for understanding disabled citizenship in
different societies - 'para-citizenship'. A far more dynamic
relationship of identity and belonging than previously imagined,
her new reading synthesises the often troubling contradictions of
citizenship for disabled people - the perils of bodily and mental
difference and the potential for personal and group empowerment.
