Zusammenfassung:This is the rise of the anti-capitalist neurodiversity movement
Beyond simplistic narratives of normativity and difference, this book exposes the very myth of the 'normal' brain as a product of intensified capitalism. Exploring the histories of the neurodiversity and disability movements, Chapman shows how the rise of capitalism created an 'empire of normality' that transformed our understanding of the body into that of a productivity machine. The author contends that neurodivergent liberation is possible - but only by challenging the deepest logics of capitalism. This volume is a guide to understanding the systems that shape our bodies, minds and deepest selves - and how we can undo them. --Adapted from publisher's description
