 Dear Friends,

 I have taken the liberty to forward you some information and a pdf flyer
 of a book just published which uses a Foucauldian lense to study
 disablement. I have a chapter in this book. Feel free to pass it onto any
 one you think might find it useful.

 Cheers

 “A serious step forward not only for disability studies but for the range
 of theoretical positions associated with Foucault. Foucault and the
 Government of Disability will provide for years to come a basis for
 rethinking Foucault’s impact on social theory as well as a foundation for
 active political struggle against the oppression of people with
 disabilities.”
         —Tobin Siebers, University of Michigan

 “Testimony to the enduring power of Foucault’s work to stimulate new ways
 of thinking about and resisting the pernicious effects of normalization
 within modern societies. . . .  Critically engaging Foucault as well as
 received interpretations of his work, this collection is intended for
 readers of Foucault as well as critical disability theorists. It delivers
 on its promise to stimulate us to think differently about both disability
 and Foucault.”
         —Jana Sawicki, Williams College


 Foucault and the Government of Disability is the first collection of
 essays to consider the relevance of Foucault to the phenomenon of
 disability, and the significance of disability studies to understanding
 and interpreting Foucault. This provocative international collection is a
 response to Foucault’s call to question what is regarded as natural,
 inevitable, ethical, and liberating; hence contributors draw on Foucault
 to scrutinize a range of widely endorsed practices and ideas surrounding
 disability, including rehabilitation, community care, impairment,
 normality and abnormality, inclusion, prevention, accommodation, and
 special education.

 The book presents a broad spectrum of approaches, disciplines, and
 perspectives, making this an important and distinctive addition to the
 burgeoning fields of disability studies and Foucault studies.

 Shelley Tremain teaches in the Philosophy Department of the University of
 Toronto at Mississauga.
