and many of its workers experienced injury and disease. However,
the experiences of the many disabled people within Britain's most
dangerous industry have gone largely unrecognised by historians.
This book looks at British coal through the lens of disability,
using an interdisciplinary approach to examine the lives of
disabled miners and their families. A diverse range of sources are
used to examine the economic, social, political and cultural impact
of disability in the coal industry, looking beyond formal coal
company and union records to include autobiographies, novels and
existing oral testimony. It argues that, far from being excluded
entirely from British industry, disability and disabled people were
central to its development. The book will appeal to students and
academics interested in disability history, disability studies,
social and cultural history and representations of disability in
literature. -- .
