The Right To Maim by Jasbir K. Puar
Debility, Capacity, Disability
This thought-provoking work delves into the intersections of disability, race, and biopolitics, exploring how states exert control over populations through the strategic infliction of injury. It examines the concept of "debility," a state of being neither fully disabled nor entirely healthy, as a tool of power that maintains social hierarchies and perpetuates inequality. By analyzing various geopolitical contexts, the book challenges traditional understandings of disability and offers a critical lens on how bodies are managed and marginalized in contemporary society.
