It touches on many of the important discussions currently animating the field and includes topics rarely discussed in disability studies, such as the experiences of people in rural settings and the role of religious faith in people's lives. This book will shift students' understandings of disability, catalyze disability organizing on campus, and re-orient pedagogy and curricula."</i>-Alison Kafer, Professor of Feminist Studies at Southwestern University, and author of <i>Feminist, Queer, Crip</i> <br></BLOCKQUOTE> <p> What is the direct impact that disability studies has on the lives of disabled people today? The editors and contributors to the essential anthology, <i>Barriers and Belonging</i>, provide thirty-seven personal narratives that explore what it means to live with disability and why the field of disability studies matters. Every chapter includes key terms, discussion questions, and suggestions for further reading. <br /><i>Barriers and Belonging</i> explores how disability informs self-knowledge, interpersonal and community relationships, and political commitments. Contributors offer experiential insight into living with an array of disabilities, from spinal cord injuries, blindness, deafness, and autism to psychiatric diagnoses, learning disabilities, and chronic pain. Several essays articulate activist and pride orientations toward disability, demonstrating the importance of understanding disability as a multi-dimensional process-as personal, relational and socio-political. <br> <P CLASS="top"><A HREF="#top">BACK TO TOP</A></P> <h2 class="inpageheading"><A NAME="excerpt"></a>Excerpt</h2><p> <A HREF="http://www.temple.edu/tempress/chapters_2400/2416_ch1.pdf">Read the Introduction (pdf).</a> <br> <P CLASS="top"><A HREF="#top">BACK TO TOP</A></P> <BR>  <h2 class="inpageheading"><A NAME="reviews"></a>Reviews</h2> <p> "Barriers and Belonging <i>is a hugely important volume-the first of its kind. As an original book that involves a synthesis of literatures and arguments, it offers an incredible range of diversity, experiences, and voices. One of its greatest strengths is how truly student-friendly it is. The focus on personal experience is notable, and the contributors explore many facets of the overall disability experience. I am very excited about the possibilities for this volume!"</i>-<b>Brenda Jo Brueggemann</b>, Professor of English and Aetna Endowed Chair of Writing at the University of Connecticut, and author of <i>Deaf Subjects: Between Identities and Places</i> <br> <P CLASS="top"><A HREF="#top">BACK TO TOP</A></P> <P> <h2 class="inpageheading"><A NAME="contents"></a>Contents</h2><P><SPAN STYLE="font-family: 'Verdana';font-size: 13px;" >Acknowledgments <BR>Introduction: Entering the Field / Michelle Jarman and Leila Monaghan<BR><BR></SPAN><SPAN STYLE="font-family: 'Verdana';font-size: 13px;font-weight: bold;" >PART I LAYING THE GROUNDWORK<BR></SPAN><SPAN STYLE="font-family: 'Verdana';font-size: 13px;" >I.1.
