Cutting-edge methods for unearthing disability history How do we explain the conspicuous absence of disability from the histories we write? What forces and factors create this dynamic? How can disability be everywhere and nowhere, present and absent, and obvious and overlooked in both the historical record and historians' interpretations of the past? Jenifer L. Barclay and Stefanie Hunt-Kennedy edit a collection of interdisciplinary essays that consider how and why physical, sensory, intellectual, and psychological disabilities are underrepresented, erased, or distorted in the historical record. The contributors draw on the methodology and practice of cripping to uncover disability in contested archives and explore ways to build inclusive archives accountable to, and centered on, disabled people and disability justice. Throughout, they show ableness informing the politics of the archive as a physical space, a discriminatory record, and a collection of silences. An essential contribution to research methods and disability justice, Cripping the Archive offers a blueprint for intersectional and interdisciplinary approaches that bridge disability studies, history, and archival studies.

This book explores sheltered employment for disabled people in the British welfare state, focusing on Remploy as the flagship provider. It considers the fundamental areas of understanding Remploy, in terms of why it was created, how it functioned, who it employed, and how far it came to dominate the wider field of provision. The book further uses sheltered employment as a new lens through which to explore key aspects of the welfare state in the period. These include the creation of the post-war settlement; the extent of political consensus; the exclusion of disabled people from welfare and work; the role played by gendered thinking in the welfare state's provisions; and the relationship between the state and voluntary sectors. In so doing, it sheds new light on the history of disability, employment, and welfare in Britain.
