This book examines disability, diversity, and schooling exclusion
in Haiti in the wake of Hurricane Matthew. Defending a social and
anthropological conception of disability as a consequence of any
situation that makes a subject uncomfortable and unable to live or
act properly, the book explores the difficulties that disabled
children face within the school system and considers how social
exclusion provokes and exacerbates educational exclusion. With
contributions from linguists, educational sociologists, educational
psychologists, educators, and historians, the chapters focus on a
range of phenomena such as the balance of languages used for
teaching, gender equity, associated disorders, and the experiences
of left-handed and deaf students. Ultimately, the authors
demonstrate how the educational relationships built and practiced
in school influence the perceptions of people with disabilities,
with respect to both singular contexts and pedagogical practices.
As such, it represents an important study of the relationship
between school exclusion, disability, and those with precarious
socio-familial conditions, and how they can be conceptualized and
addressed in the context of crises. It will appeal to scholars,
researchers, and academics with interests in diversity and
inclusive education, pedagogy, crisis education, and educational
psychology. Chapters 1, 3, 7, and 8 of this book are available for
