While offering a political/relational model of reconfiguring disability as a category and experience, Alison Kafer insists on the need to “contextualize, historically and politically, the meanings typically attributed to disability, thereby positioning “disability” as a set of practices and associations that can be critiqued, contested, and transformed” (2013, p 26). Treating disability as a self-contained rigid category limits its potential to make meaningful interventions in the disabled civil rights movement and its academic-intellectual discourse.
