From the Back Cover

'An enlightening collection of work exploring the intersection between art and disability. Millett-Gallant’s writing illuminates the transformative power of perspective and its ability to challenge and redefine social norms.'
Kevin Michael Connolly

'The Disabled Body in Contemporary Art has for more than a decade been the primary, indispensable resource for thinking about the myriad ways that disability is represented by contemporary artists. This second edition updates and extends Ann Millett-Gallant’s groundbreaking text.'
Robert McRuer, author of Crip Theory: Cultural Signs of Queerness and Disability (2006)

Operating from the position that disability offers "an opportunity for alternative and unique insights," Ann Millett-Gallant presents readers with engaging analyses of the work of Mary Duffy, Marc Quinn, Joel-Peter Witkin, Kevin Connolly, Persimmon Blackbridge, Sandie Yi, and others, which challenges prevailing stereotypes and assumptions about corporeal difference. This long-awaited revision and extension of Millet-Gallant's groundbreaking The Disabled Body in Contemporary Art (2010) is a must-read for anyone interested in art and disability.
Keri Watson, Co-editor, The Routledge Companion to Art and Disability (2022)
