- This 8-chapter monograph offers the first comprehensive exploration of disability and citizenship in China from 1949 to the present. Through the analysis of an extensive body of Chinese language primary sources, from film and documentary to literature and life writing, media and state documents (which took 7 years to collate), Dauncey breaks entirely new ground. Her in-depth contextualisation, finely-grained case studies and interdisciplinary approach not only shed important light on the ways in which disabled identities have been negotiated in China, they enabled her to make compelling arguments for a new theoretical framework for understanding disabled citizenship globally – ‘para-citizenship’.
