However, preoccupation with, the \"small\" coexists with a gaze intent upon capturing a bigger picture, to the extent that the things constituting everyday life are deployed as prisms \u003ci\u003ethrough \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003ewith \u003c\/i\u003ewhich to critically reflect upon the wider worlds of dis\/ability and everyday life. Such attention to the small and the big--the micro and the macro--allows this book to explore the ordinary and everyday ways meanings about normalcy and abnormalcy, ability and disability, are put together, enacted, practised, made (up)--in the sense of constituting \u003ci\u003eand \u003c\/i\u003efabricating--and, crucially, \u003ci\u003eaccomplished \u003c\/i\u003ethrough and between people in specific, and invariably contingent, sociocultural, discursive, and material conditions of possibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book will be of specific interest not only to students and scholars of disability but also to persons with lived experiences of disability.
