This book explores how phenomenological ideas about embodiment,
perception, and lived experience are discussed within disability
studies, critical race theory, and queer studies. Building on these
disciplines, it offers readings of memoirs and novels that address
the consequences of stigmatization and the bodily dimensions of
social differences. The texts include Robert F. Murphy's The Body
Silent, Simi Linton's My Body Politic, Rod Michalko's The
Two-in-One: Walking with Smokie, Walking with Blindness, three
memoirs by Stephen Kuusisto, Vincent O. Carter's The Bern Book, as
well as two novels, Matthew Griffin's Hide and Armistead Maupin's
Maybe the Moon. All of the texts discussed in this book negotiate
the significance of bodily and perceptual habits, the influence of
language and culture on embodiment, the importance of relationality
and community, the severe effects of misrecognition, and the
possibilities of emancipation and social recognition. Hence, they
are read as pioneering contributions to the emerging field of
critical phenomenology.
