دانلود کتاب Disability in Africa: Inclusion, Care, and the Ethics of Humanity

While the disability rights movement of recent decades has a rich and well-documented history, it is a history mostly focused on the Global North. Disability in Africa presents an interdisciplinary approach to cultural, health, and policy challenges that disability issues have raised throughout the African continent. The volume draws on the achievements of disability studies while acknowledging the demands and challenges of particular African contexts. The authors bring diverse methodological approaches and expertise to bear on these issues, ranging from anthropology and bioethics to special education and community rehabilitation. Essays consider indigenously African definitions of disability as well as exploring disability at the intersection of poverty, geography, and globalized biopolitics. Contributors analyze the difficulties of implementing disability policy across the continent while also being mindful of successful approaches taken at local, national, and international levels. Disability in Africa thus charts new avenues for disability studies research in and about Africa.Table of ContentsPART ONE: INTRODUCING THE FIELDAfricanizing Disability: Toward an Articulation of African Disability Studies -Toyin Falola and Nic HamelDisability Studies: A Disciplinary Overview - Toyin Falola, Anna Lee Carothers, and Nic HamelPART TWO: THEORIZING DISABILITY IN AFRICAAn African Ethics of Social Well-Being: Understanding Disability and Public Health - Maria BerghsRethinking African Disability Studies: From the Cultural-Deficit Model to a Socio-Economic Perspective - Fikru Negash GebrekidanDisability in Africa: A Cultural/Religious Perspective - Mary NyangwesoDisability and Cultural Meaning Making in Africa Kathryn - Linn GuertsPART THREE: REPRESENTATION AND CULTURAL EXPRESSIONSDisfiguration, Trauma, and Disability: Reclaiming the Body and the Case against Prosthetics - Ernest ColeParadoxical Dramaturgies: Disability, Ritual, and Resistance in the Plays of Wole Soyinka - Nic HamelDemonizing Madness: Mental Disorders as Deus Ex Machina in Nollywood Movies - Kolawole OlaiyaMasculinity, Disability, and Empire in J.M.
