{"product_id":"9780198822417","title":"The Minority Body: A Theory of Disability","description":"\u003cp\u003eElizabeth Barnes argues compellingly that disability is primarily a social phenomenon—a 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 sub-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 Disability Rights movement. Elizabeth Barnes argues that to be physically disabled is not to have a defective body, but simply to have a minority body.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47777347502320,"sku":"9780198822417","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780198822417_p0.jpg?v=1763668659","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780198822417","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
