Extraordinary Bodies: Figuring Physical Disability in American Culture and Literature
Rosemarie Garland Thomson
Inaugurates a new field of disability studies by framing disability as a minority discourse rather than a medical one. The book examines disabled figures in Uncle Tom's Cabin and in African-American novels by Toni Morrison and Audre Lorde as well as in the popular cultural ritual of the freak show.
