Dwarfism, Spatiality and Disabling Experiences Pritchard Erin
This book provides an in-depth analysis of the social and spatial experiences of people with dwarfism, an impairment that results in a person being no taller than 4' 10.This book engages with the concept that dwarfism's most prominent feature - body size and shape - can form the basis of social discrimination and disadvantages within society. Using a mixed-methods approach and drawing on the work undertaken by human geographers and disability studies academics, this book analyses how the relationship between harmful cultural stereotypes and space shapes everyday experiences of people with dwarfism and works to socially exclude them in diverse ways. By ignoring body size as a disability, it is hard to see the resulting disabling consequences of the built environment.
Showing how spatial and social barriers are not mutually exclusive but can influence one another, this book
