Claiming Disability : Knowledge and Identity, Hardcover by Linton, Simi, ISBN 0814751334, ISBN-13 9780814751336, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US Linton (education foundations and counseling programs, Hunter College) focuses on the fact that the definition of disability is a matter of social debate and cultural construction. She argues that not only does disability studies deserve a place in curriculums, it is in fact central to the humanities. In the process of making this argument Linton discusses our divided society and the divided curriculum that mirrors it, applications of the discipline to the non-academic world, and the future scholarship that is needed.
