Constructing Disability

from The Gilded Age and Progressive Era

The Great War transformed the world order, and it also revolutionized societies and individual experiences. In one of the year's most interesting books about the war's impact, Dr. Evan Sullivan explores the lives of blinded veterans and how their injuries completely changed the way we think about disability. Evan joins the show to discuss his book and the wider implications of disability studies for historical scholarship. Essential Reading: Evan Sullivan, Constructing Disability after the Great War: Blind Veterans in the Progressive Era (2024). Recommended Reading: Beth Linker, War's Waste: Rehabilitation in World War I America (2011). Audra Jennings, Out of the Horrors of War: Disability Politics in World War II America (2016).
