This is the first book to explore how far disability, as a social identity, challenges dominant understandings of rurality, identity and belonging. Exploring particularly the ways in which bodies are given meaning and value in relation to core ethical rural considerations associated with physical strength, productivity, and social reciprocity. Using lived experience of people with disabilities through the use of life history methodologies, it goes beyond conventional notions of rurality through grounding its analysis in a range of disability spaces and places and including the work of disability sociologists, geographers, cultural theorists and policy analysis.
