"One of my subjects in the book is the way in which the emerging disability civil rights movement and its exuberant corollary disability arts culture cited the “ugly law,” in some ways misleadingly, but for compelling reasons. Lewis’s 'Other Voices theater group was at the epicenter of this project. Her co-authored play Ph*reaks in this volume is one example of how
disability culture used the law to make disability history."
