Was fu?r eine Insel in was fu?r einem Meer, or What Kind of Island in What Kind of Sea (Rostock, Hinstorff, 1986) depicts residents of a church-run institution for people with cognitive disabilities in astonishing black-and-white photographs by Dietmar Riemann and in a probing, poignant essay by esteemed German writer Franz Fu?hmann. This important text, which moved from a medical model to a historical and cultural view of disability as an aspect of human identity and experience, is translated into English for the first time by Elizabeth Hamilton and includes reflections on the book and its impact. As fuller, global histories of disability are now being written, What Kind of Island in What Kind of Sea opens an essential window onto a formerly shuttered world, demonstrating the power of the arts to hone our capacity to perceive and appreciate human difference. 606 $aPeople with mental disabilities$zGermany$vPictorial works 606 $aPeople with mental disabilities$zGermany 606 $aPeople with mental disabilities$vPictorial works 607 $aGermany (East)$2fast 608 $aHistory.$2fast 615 0$aPeople with mental disabilities 615 0$aPeople with mental disabilities 615 0$aPeople with mental disabilities 676 $a362.3 700 $aFu?hmann$b Franz$0388896 702 $aRiemann$b Dietmar 702 $aHamilton$b Elizabeth C. 712 02$aMichigan Publishing (University of Michigan), 801 0$bEYM 801 1$bEYM 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910558695903321 996 $aWhat Kind of Island in What Kind of Sea$92907177 997 $aUNINA
