Questions of Competence: Culture, Classification and Intellectual Disability
Richard Jenkins
This book advances a conceptualisation of intellectual disability that emphasises its cultural variability and social construction rather than its medicalised, physiological nature. Addressed to disability specialists in the social sciences and medicine, it treats intellectual disability not just as a property of individuals, but also as social phenomenon.
