The rise of the extreme right globally, the crisis of capitalism
and the withdrawal of all but the most punitive arms of the state
are having a disastrous impact on disabled people's lives. This is
the political context in which the concept of 'disability praxis'
is set. What then is its relevance to disruptive theory and
practice? Bob Williams-Findlay offers an account of the
transformative potential of disability praxis and how it relates to
disabled politics and activism. He addresses different sites of
struggle, showing how disabled people have advanced radical theory
into the implementation of policies. Examining the growth of the
global Disabled People's Movement during the 1960s,
Williams-Findlay shows how a new social discourse emerged that
shifted the focus away from seeing disability as restrictions on an
individual's body, towards understanding the impact of restrictions
created by capitalist relations. He shines light on the contested
definitions of disability, asking us to reconsider how different
socio-political contexts produce varied understandings of social
oppression and how we may play a role in transforming definitions.
