Reviews

In lively, fresh prose and with such an accessible style, Dolmage is using disability studies and its approach to bodies/ embodiment to re/place the body in the very old field of rhetoric. Yet he is also using rhetoric, in both theory and practice, to fruitfully expand and explore all the available means of persuasion that are also possible for disability. - Brenda Brueggemann, author of Deaf Subjects
