Summary
The troika of chapters in this Part demonstrates, in dissimilar contexts and in varied ways, the deleterious effects of clumsily applying, misconstruing, or violating disability-based civil rights laws. Underlying and uniting the three chapters is the impact of misunderstanding disability as an identity category and a subject of normative social justice. Stated more in line with the book’s theme and its Introduction, these contributions highlight some of the real-world manifestations of viewing disability as deficit rather than as difference.
