This book argues it should be understood not just as structural oppression, but as violence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\nDrawing on definitions of violence from the World Health Organization and sociologist Sylvia Walby, Beckett and Griffiths develop an original four-part violence-typology: direct harmful acts, failures to act, discretionary denial of care and policy withdrawal of support. Theorising ableism as a dispositif of violence, they apply this framework to hate crimes, microaggressions, institutional confinement, assisted dying and the deprioritisation of disabled lives during COVID-19.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\nWeaving rigorous analysis with dialogue between a disabled academic-activist and non-disabled ally, this is scholarship as resistance – naming violence where it is too often obscured.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Angharad E.
