Description
"Cripping the Archive provides a cornucopia of diverse, provocative, astounding and often lesser-known case studies that showcase how centering disability in historical research, even in its obfuscation, minoritization, or absence, can be revelatory and productive."-Liat Ben-Moshe, author of Decarcerating Disability: Deinstitutionalization and Prison Abolition "A highly impressive and thought-provoking volume. The diversity of essays reflects the multiple connections between disability and the archive. Taken together, and with its powerful introduction, the book will significantly influence not only the content of future research but also how that research is conducted."-Esme Cleall, author of Colonising Disability: impairment and otherness across Britain and its Empire, c. 1800-1914
