This sequel to the influential 2016 work DisCrit—Disability
Studies and Critical Race Theory in Education explores how DisCrit
has both deepened and expanded, providing increasingly nuanced
understandings about how racism and ableism circulate across
geographic borders, academic disciplines, multiplicative
identities, intersecting oppressions, and individual and cultural
resistances. Following an incisive introduction by DisCrit
intellectual forerunner Alfredo Artiles, a diverse group of authors
engage in inward, outward, and margin-to-margin analyses that raise
deep and enduring questions about how we as scholars and teachers
account for and counteract the collusive nature of oppressions
faced by minoritized individuals with disabilities, particularly in
educational contexts. Contributors ask readers to consider incisive
questions such as: What are the affordances and constraints of
DisCrit as it travels outside of U.S. contexts? How can DisCrit, as
a critical and intersectional framework, be used to support and
extend diverse forms of activism, expanded solidarities, and
collective resistance? How can DisCrit inform and be augmented by
engagements with other critical theories and modes of inquiry? How
can DisCrit help to illuminate agency and resistance among learners
with complex learning needs? How might DisCrit inform legal studies
and other disciplinary and interdisciplinary contexts? How can
DisCrit be a critical friend to interrogations involving issues of
citizenship, language, and more? Book Features: Expands the
discussion on DisCrit to include issues of language, citizenship,
and post-secondary education, and more. Presents a robust
engagement with DisCrit that reaches across disciplines,
geographies, and temporalities. Highlights the lived experience of
people with disabilities as knowledge generators fighting against
the collusive power of racism and ableism. Recognizes that
disability is complex, multifaceted, and not bound by labels for
Black people, Indigenous People, and other People of Color in
educational experiences and throughout the lifespan Further
explores the discussion on DisCrit while encouraging disability
scholars to substantially integrate racism into their analyses, and
for race scholars to do the same with ableism.
