Robert McRuer Explores Disability Revolution in New Book from U California Press
Robert McRuer, a Professor of English at George Washington University, has authored a new book titled 'Disability, Revolution,' published by U California Press in 2026. The book delves into the concept of revolutionary disability politics, offering alternatives to what McRuer terms 'one-dimensional disability.' It provides an accessible overview of disability justice movements and their relevance to broader emancipatory coalitions. McRuer's work explores prominent examples from recent decades, focusing on the convergence of queer and crip movements, mad pride, intersectional disability justice work, neurodiversity, and the globalization of disability alliances. His previous award-winning book, 'Crip Theory: Cultural Signs of Queerness and Disability,' has been translated into three languages.
