Review :
"[A]n important book. It takes one of the most complex and misunderstood concepts in disabilities studies and serves it up in a number of contexts that make it more concrete and understandable to the common reader... It provides both scholars and students with springboards to further research and a wealth of references to get them started... Wilson and Brune are to be congratulated." - Wordgathering: A Journal of Disability Poetry and Literature, September 2013 "Collapsing normalization into passing may be the most important concept in this anthology, and the editors' selection of passing issues is on the mark... The anthology wonderfully complicates and adds depth to the whole notion of people with disabilities passing. Previously, scholars have been stuck with awkward metaphors of disability passing as similar to passing as white or passing as straight. The complications of race, sexuality, or gender are not neglected here, and make for a rich palette of ideas to be unpacked and explored. Summing Up: Highly recommended." - Choice, November 2013 "Disability and Passing is the first anthology to examine the phenomenon of 'passing' among people with disabilities... This collection offers a varied and thoughtful approach to understanding the challenges facing those with disabilities and the ways they manage a stigmatized identity through passing. A common theme in these essays is that passing strategies often place the burden of accommodating disabilities on the individuals themselves, rather than on the society that does not accept them. Disability and Passing places these challenges in historical and social context and encourages further research in this new area of study." - Contemporary Sociology
