This book provides insight into the globally interlinked disability rights community and its political efforts today. By analysing what disability rights activism contributes to a global power apparatus of disability-related knowledge it demonstrates how disability advocacy influences the way we categorise classify distribute manipulate and therefore transform knowledge. By unpacking the mutually constitutive relations between (practical) moral knowledge of international disability advocates and (formal) disability rights norms that are codified in international treaties such as the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) the author shows that the disability rights movement is largely critical of statements that attempt to streamline it. At the same time cross-cultural disability rights advocacy requires images of uniformity to stabilise its global legitimacy among international stakeholders and retain a common meta-code that visibly identifies its means and aims. As an epistemic community disability rights advocates simultaneously rely on and contest the authority of international human rights infrastructure and its language. Proving that disability rights advocates contribute immensely to a global culture that standardises what is considered morally and legally ‘right’ and ‘wrong’ thereby shaping the human body and the body politic this book will be of interest to all scholars and students of critical disability studies sociology of knowledge legal and linguistic anthropology social inequality and social movements. | International Disability Rights Advocacy Languages of Moral Knowledge and Institutional Critique
