The Five Criteria of Disability Used by the 1987 National Sampling Survey of the Disabled --Appendix B --References --IndexBodies of Difference chronicles the compelling story of disability's emergence as an area of significant sociopolitical activity in contemporary China. Keenly attentive to how bodies are embedded in discourse, history, and personal exigency, Matthew Kohrman details ways that disability became a fount for the production of institutions and identities across the Chinese landscape during the final decades of the twentieth century. He looks closely at the creation of the China Disabled Persons' Federation and the lives of numerous individuals, among them Deng Pufang, son of China's Communist leader Deng Xiaoping.BiopoliticsChinaPeople with disabilitiesChinaacademic.advocacy.advocates.beijing.biomythography.biopolitics.corporate body.cultural history.culture.disability studies.disability.disabled persons.institutional advocacy.marriage.mental deficiencies.mental disabilities.mental impairments.modern china.modern world.modernity.myth.physical disabilities.race.racism.scholarly.social history.social justice.social studies.BiopoliticsPeople with disabilities362.4/0951Kohrman Matthewauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1665131DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910813982203321Bodies of Difference4023583UNINA
