| Sumario: | Toombs' own thoughts on disability seem considerably different from mainstream disability ethics. She argues that we must move beyond an identity politics that focuses on disability as the locus of identity, and instead recognize and affirm I the person i who is the subject of the experience of disability: If you focus only on my disability, then you essentially make me invisible. (p. 18) This idea is revisited at the end of the book in Toombs' discussion of intentional communities, which focus on the uniqueness of each person rather than the category of disability. |
