520 |a Critical theory and Independent Living explores intersections between contemporary critical theory and disabled people’s struggle for self-determination. The book highlights the affinities between the Independent Living movement and studies of epistemic injustice, biopower and psychopower. It discusses in depth the activists’ critical engagement with welfare-state paternalism, neoliberal marketisation and familialism. This helps develop a pioneering comparison between various welfare regimes grounded in Independent Living advocacy. The book draws on the activism of disabled people from the European Network on Independent Living (ENIL) by developing case studies of the ENIL’s campaigning for deinstitutionalization and personal assistance. It is argued that this work helps rethink independence as a form of interdependence, and that this reframing is pivotal for critical theorizing in the twenty-first century.
