Disability, Intersectional Agency, and Latinx Identity: Theorizing LatDisCrit Co

Description: Disability, Intersectional Agency, and Latinx Identity by Alexis Padilla This interdisciplinary volume links dis/ability and agency by exploring LatDisCrits theory and activist emancipatory practice. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description This interdisciplinary volume links dis/ability and agency by exploring LatDisCrits theory and activist emancipatory practice. It uses the authors experiential and analytical views as a blind brown Latinx engaged scholar and activist from the global south living and struggling in the highly racialized global north context of the United States. LatDisCrit integrates critically LatCrit and DisCrit which look at the interplay of race/ethnicity, diasporic cultures, historical sociopolitics and disability within multiple Latinx identities in mostly global north contexts, while incorporating global south epistemologies. Using intersectional analysis of key concepts through critical counterstories, following critical race theory methodological traditions, and engaging possible decoloniality treatments of material precarity and agency, this book emphasizes intersectionalitys complex underpinnings within and beyond Latinidades. Through a careful interplay of dis/ability identity and dis/ability rights/empowerment, the volume opens avenues for intersectional solidarity and spaces for radical transformational learning.This book will be of interest to all scholars and students working in disability studies; intersectional disability justice activists; critical Latinx/Chicanx studies; critical geographies; intersectional political philosophy; and political and public sociology.

Review "The field of disability studies, especially the critical and cultural variants, has always learned and borrowed from work in feminist, postcolonial, and queer studies. This volume demonstrates that those invaluable relationships continue to produce meaningful explorations of social justice; it also demonstrates the ongoing need to disrupt dominance and appreciate alterity." Professor David Bolt, Personal Chair, Disability Studies, Liverpool Hope University, UK."The range of Padillas knowledge is simply stunning. In this volume, he deftly weaves multiple theories and a rich history of intellectual thought with lived experiences of people, exploring agency from a dis/abled Latinx perspective, and bringing forth new ways of thinking about the Global North and South." David J. Connor. Ph.D., Professor Emeritus, Hunter College, CUNY, USA. "Must read for activists, scholars, and artists! Learn from one of the best at deeply describing radical solidarity and emancipatory learning across space and time. Dr. Padilla masterfully engages the reader with the problematic and the possibilities of transformative change." Paulo Tan. Ph.D., Johns Hopkins University, UK. "Dr. Alexis Padillas generative discourse is a groundbreaking praxical liberation meta-counter-text against global racist and ableist hegemony. The meta-counter-text provides us with a fusion between theory and practice through the critical analytical autoethnographic and non-fictional counterstories, that bring to life the transformative power of LatDisCrit to take the reader at their positionalities and relationalities, inward and outward about supremacies such as ableism, imperialism, colonialism, and anti-blackness that are experienced by subalternate Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BPIOC) within global south and north bodyminds."
