Disability, Antiprofessionalism, and Civil Rights: The National Federation of the Blind and the \Right to Organize\ in the 1950s
2011
Overview
Felicia Kornbluh problematizes the familiar timeline of civil rights histories. Instead of seeing the major civil rights campaigns in America as a succession of movements, starting with the one against Jim Crow in die late 1940s and ending with the movement for disability rights in the 1970s, Kornbluh suggests that these post- World War II movements emerged simultaneously and influenced one another as they developed. She argues that the challenges to medical, psychiatric, and social-scientific expertise usually associated with the 1960s and 1970s may in fact have originated in the activism of blind people and others in the movement for disability rights in the 1940s. Finally, by focusing on issues of disability, such as the passage of legislation creating the civilian program of occupational rehabilitation, she offers a new view of the 1950s as an era of expansion in domestic social and health policies.
