Thank you! The lives of many disabled people in Europe and North America have improved over the past two decades through innovative technologies and the efforts of the disability rights movement. These changes have been spreading to other societies around the globe—albeit unevenly. Recounting the absurdities of counting disabled people to fit invented international statistics and using one woman's experience of not being disabled enough to qualify for disability employment quotas to illustrate how truly enforceable are these mandates, his arguments are persuasive and well documented.

However, through focusing only on unmasking China's co-optation of disability rights, Kohrman's body of work on disability in China and disabled people's lived experiences somehow disappear. On the whole, this remarkable anthology exemplifies comparative medical anthropology at its best. Clearly, much is gained that remains under-theorised. Or, does it smooth over the extremely rough edges lived by the majority of people in the world with severe mental, cognitive, sensory, and physical disabilities?

Further, while the disability concept may be found underlying social justifications for gender, race, and economic inequalities, anthropologists writing on disability topics often do not undertake reviews of the literature and theory of disability scholarship as would be expected for analyses of gender, race, kinship, and even biotechnology.
