Disability Histories of Pennsylvania

17 Volume: 17, Number: 2

Fall 2017

From the adaptations of colonial Americans to the better-known disability rights movement of the late twentieth century, Pennsylvania has played a seminal role in the history of disabilities. This issue of Legacies explores some of the key moments in this history, including the material culture of disability, the discourse of eugenics, institutionalization and deinstitutionalization, and workplace rights.
