Seeming to criminalize disability and thus offering a visceral example of discrimination, these ?ugly laws? have become a sort of shorthand for oppression in disability studies, law, and the arts.In this watershed study of the ugly laws, Susan M. Schweik uncovers the murky history behind the laws, situating the varied legislation in its historical context and exploring in detail what the laws meant. Illustrating how the laws join the history of the disabled and the poor, Schweik not only gives the reader a deeper understanding of the ugly laws and the cities where they were generated, she locates the laws at a crucial intersection of evolving and unstable concepts of race, nation, sex, class, and gender. Moreover, she explores the history of resistance to the ordinances, using the often harrowing life stories of those most affected by their passage. Moving to the laws? more recent history, Schweik analyzes the shifting cultural memory of the ugly laws, examining how they have been used?and misused?by academics, activists, artists, lawyers, and legislators. 410 0$aHistory of disability series. 606 $aPeople with disabilities$xLegal status, laws, etc$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aBeggars$xLegal status, laws, etc$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aDiscrimination against people with disabilities$xLaw and legislation$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aPeople with disabilities$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aBeggars$zUnited States$xHistory 615 0$aPeople with disabilities$xLegal status, laws, etc.$xHistory. 615 0$aBeggars$xLegal status, laws, etc.$xHistory. 615 0$aDiscrimination against people with disabilities$xLaw and legislation$xHistory. 615 0$aPeople with disabilities$xHistory. 615 0$aBeggars$xHistory. 676 $a346.7301/3 700 $aSchweik$b Susan M$g(Susan Marie),$f1956-$01705866 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910826541603321 996 $aThe ugly laws$94092906 997 $aUNINA 999 $p$133.88$u11/02/2016$5Dis
