More about the book
By blending disability studies with ecocriticism, this book challenges the myth of individualism as a solution to systemic and structural disadvantages. It critically examines how societal ambitions often ignore the complexities of material conditions, revealing the limitations of personal success narratives in the face of broader societal inequities. Through this lens, it invites readers to reconsider the relationship between ambition, disability, and environmental factors.
