Why Disability Matters to Justice,
By
This review is from: Love's Labor: Essays on Women, Equality and Dependency (Thinking Gender) (Paperback)
I reviewed this book for the spring issue of Tikkun Magazine. In short, I believe it is a feminist classic, opening our eyes to the obvious. The simple point is that neither the disabled nor those who care for them can participate in social life according to a standard of rational, autonomous individuality. The disabled often don't have the autonomy, the caretakers don't have the time or energy. Kittay's book opens up a whole field of discussion: how to reorient our concepts of jutice and community in light of the obvious facts of the different ways in which we are dependent on each other, and on what such dependence can cost those who take it on. Essential reading for ethics and social theory.
