{"product_id":"the-minority-body","title":"The Minority Body","description":"\u003cp\u003eElizabeth Barnes argues compellingly that disability is primarily a social phenomenonDLa way of being a minority, a way of facing social oppression, but not a way of being inherently or intrinsically worse off. This is how disability is understood in the Disability Rights and Disability Pride movements; but there is a massive disconnect with the way disability is typically viewed within analytic philosophy. The idea that disability is not inherently bad or\n\u003cbr\u003esub-optimal is one that many philosophers treat with open skepticism, and sometimes even with scorn. The goal of this book is to articulate and defend a version of the view of disability that is common in the\n\u003cbr\u003eDisability Rights movement. Elizabeth Barnes argues that to be physically disabled is not to have a defective body, but simply to have a minority body.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46058442981614,"sku":"9780198822417","price":27.02,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9780198822417.jpg?v=1736475773","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/the-minority-body","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
