Book review: Disability and social theory: New developments and directions

Abstract
This collection of essays, appropriately dedicated to the memory of disability activist and theorist Vic Finkelstein, ambitiously draws together 16 chapters written by a wide range of scholarly researchers and theorists in the social sciences to address the topic of disability and social theory. The volume ranges across the topics of ‘Cultures,’ ‘Bodies,’ ‘Subjectivities,’ and ‘Communities’ and is bookended by a useful introduction and conclusion written by the three co-editors. The utility of the volume as a reference guide or textbook is set off by a capacious glossary with expansively defined terms.
