Abstract
<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title>
<jats:p>This chapter reviews three books published in 2018 centering on disability
and resistance. It is organized into five sections. The first, ‘Resistance, Disability,
and Democracy’, summarizes debates about the political obligations of disability studies,
and outlines how disability justice is replacing the former emphasis on rights. The
second section, ‘Academic Perspectives’, reviews the provocative collection Manifestos
for the Future of Critical Disability Studies, volume 1, identifying areas of contention
and raising questions about the field’s current direction. The third section, ‘Activist
Perspectives’, reviews Alice Wong’s collection Resistance and Hope: Essays by Disabled
People. The fourth section, ‘Beyond Identity’, reviews Robert McRuer’s Crip Times:
Disability, Globalization, and Resistance. The concluding section, ‘An Abbreviated
Manifesto’, asserts the vital role of disability justice in establishing alternatives
to neoliberalism, resisting tyranny, and achieving democracy.</jats:p>
