The attention to larger critiques, the desire to cross barriers, and the formulation of disability as 'matter in motion,' with its 'alternative agencies of becoming' all position this collection as theoretically and politically innovative, potent, and generative. The book's introduction is superbengaging, extensive, with a sharp sense of the trajectory and significance of the collection and its lively, fascinating range of topics, texts, and films."" - Stacy Alaimo, author of Bodily Natures: Science, Environment, and the Material Self
""Adapting research in new materialism, affect theory, and critical race studies, this theoretically innovative collection displaces the classical humanist Subject . . . The Matter of Disability is a bellwether for wheredisability studies is going and why the matter of embodiment matters. The editors have thrown down the gauntlet to scholars in other fields to 'come on in.'"" - Michael Davidson, University of California, San Diego
