Accessible Citizenships examines Chicana/o cultural representations that conceptualize political community through images of disability. Working against the assumption that disability is a metaphor for social decay or political crisis, Julie Avril Minich analyzes literature, film, and visual art post-1980 in which representations of nonnormative bodies work to expand our understanding of what it means to belong to a political community. Minich shows how queer writers like Arturo Islas and Cherríe Moraga have reconceptualized Chicano nationalism through disability images. She further addresses how the U.S.-Mexico border and disabled bodies restrict freedom and movement. Finally, she confronts the changing role of the nation-state in the face of neoliberalism as depicted in novels by Ana Castillo and Cecile Pineda. Accessible Citizenships illustrates how these works gesture toward less exclusionary forms of citizenship and nationalism. Minich boldly argues that the corporeal images used to depict national belonging have important consequences for how the rights and benefits of citizenship are understood and distributed.

This collection of personal testimonies, newspaper articles, and official communications played a critical role in making the American with Disabilities Act of 1990 possible. For centuries, people with disabilities lived without rights, were oppressed by social stigma, rejected by wide swaths of culture, and were denied access to life, to liberty, and to the pursuit of happiness. It took a dedicated band of advocates and activists to create the cultural change needed to ensure such ostracization would no longer be deemed acceptable. These advocates and activists deserve to be honored and memorialized as veterans of democracy. Here are just a few of the many historical insights within the ADA Diaries that await your discovery.
