Stars Are Not Born: An Interpretive Approach to the Politics of Disability.
Liggett, Helen
Disability, Handicap and Society, v3 n3 p263-75 1988
Examined is the political relevance of discussions of how disabilities are determined and administered. Michael Foucault's work is presented as the basis for interpreting literature on disability from a viewpoint which is sensitive to variations in epistemological presuppositions and to political implications of research for the administration and treatment of disability.
