Year: 2021
Type: preprint
Abstract: [enter Abstract Body]
This chapter uses the counterstory emphasis intrinsic to the construct of LatDisCrit and critical race theory in combination with ideas from Paul Ricoeur's critical hermeneutics. Relying on the author's own 1980s experiences in the global south as a blind law school student, the chapter analyzes normalizing ideology representational issues disguised as mythologies of giftedness.
