Zusatztext "The study of disability and sexuality is thriving and this handbook is one of the most important volumes to date for scholars, students, and activists interested in the field. Focusing on a diverse, interdisciplinary range of issues from impressively global perspectives, the volume is indispensable for thinking about sexuality and disability in theory, representation, and policy." Robert McRuer is Professor of English at George Washington University in Washington, DC, USA."It is a pleasure for me to offer my full endorsement of The Routledge Handbook of Disability and Sexuality by Russell Shuttleworth and Linda Mona. Although issues relating to sexuality and disability have been in the literature for many years, this collection provides an astonishing array of current cultural, disability affirmative perspectives on the topic. This is must reading for anyone interested in understanding the linkage between these concepts."
