In this ground-breaking book, Jenny Slater uses the lens of ?the reasonable? to explore how normative understandings of youth, dis/ability and the intersecting identities of gender and sexuality impact upon the lives of young dis/abled people. Although youth and disability have separately been thought within socio-cultural frameworks, rarely have sociological studies of ?youth? and ?disability? been brought together. By taking an interdisciplinary, critical disability studies approach to explore the socio-cultural concepts of ?youth? and ?disability? alongside one-another, Slater convincingly demonstrates that ?youth? and ?disability? have been conceptualised within medical/psychological frameworks for too long.
