| Book Description | Based on data collected through in-depth fieldwork observation and interviews in Bai Township, this book examines how women with disabilities in rural Southwest China compensate for their disability identity through marriage. As the first book to theorize the married life of rural-based women with different types of disabilities, it provides a more holistic picture of their marital life by tracing the marriage process from mate selection to wedding ceremony, reproduction and role performance. It also generates a substantive theory grounded in the real experiences of women living with disabilities with Jing Yang arguing that these women are not passive victims in the marital process, but active agents who endeavour to minimize the risk of abuse and maximize security and satisfaction in their marriage. |
| About the Author | Jing Yang is Assistant Professor of the Sociology Department at Guizhou University, China. Her recent publications include Rehabilitation Work (2011, co-edited) and Service and Rehabilitation for People with Disabilities in Rural China (2008) |
