Patrick McDonagh
The term idiot is a damning put down, whether deployed on the playground or in the board room. People stigmatized as being intellectually disabled must confront variants of the fear and pity with which society has greeted them for centuries. This book explores how artistic and sociological interpretations of idiocy work symbolically in society.
