This book argues it should be understood not just as structural oppression, but as violence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Drawing on definitions of violence from the World Health Organization and sociologist Sylvia Walby, Beckett and Griffiths develop an original four-part violence-typology: direct harmful acts, failures to act, discretionary denial of care and policy withdrawal of support. Theorising ableism as a dispositif of violence, they apply this framework to hate crimes, microaggressions, institutional confinement, assisted dying and the deprioritisation of disabled lives during COVID-19.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Weaving rigorous analysis with dialogue between a disabled academic-activist and non-disabled ally, this is scholarship as resistance - naming violence where it is too often obscured.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Policy Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47773204742295,"sku":"9781447376897","price":12979.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781447376897.webp?v=1777978176","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/ableism-as-violence-9781447376897","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
