Publisher's Synopsis
'The Routledge Handbook of Postcolonial Disability Studies' centres and explores postcolonial theory, which looks at issues of power, economics, politics, religion and culture and how these elements work in relation to colonial supremacy. It argues that disability is a constitutive material presence in many postcolonial societies and that progressive disability politics arise from postcolonial concerns. By drawing these two subjects together, this handbook challenges oppression, voicelessness, stereotyping, undermining, neo- colonisation and postcolonisation and bridges binary debate between global North and the global South.
