      title = {Embodying difference : critical phenomenology and  narratives of disability, race, and sexuality /},
      abstract = {This book explores how phenomenological ideas about  embodiment, perception, and lived experience are discussed  within disability studies, critical race theory, and queer  studies. Building on these disciplines, it offers readings  of memoirs and novels that address the consequences of  stigmatization and the bodily dimensions of social  differences. The texts include Robert F. Murphys The Body  Silent, Simi Lintons My Body Politic, Rod Michalkos The  Two-in-One: Walking with Smokie, Walking with Blindness,  three memoirs by Stephen Kuusisto, Vincent O. Carters The  Bern Book, as well as two novels, Matthew Griffins Hide and  Armistead Maupins Maybe the Moon. All of the texts  discussed in this book negotiate the significance of bodily  and perceptual habits, the influence of language and  culture on embodiment, the importance of relationality and  community, the severe effects of misrecognition, and the  possibilities of emancipation and social recognition.  Hence, they are read as pioneering contributions to the  emerging field of critical phenomenology. Simon Dickel is  Professor of Gender and Diversity Studies at Folkwang  University of the Arts in Essen, Germany. He is the author  of Black/Gay: The Harlem Renaissance, the Protest Era, and  Constructions of Black Gay Identity in the 1980s and 90s  (2011).},
