And it's all available online here.

do you know how to find the actual issue? i'm really interested in reading it!
thanks for posting.
Sorry, I don't. My best guess would be a university library. I can't stand to read multiple long academic articles online myself, so I've been downloading them to various portable machines. That works better for me.
See, they need to change that awful, cumbersome academic title to a song title: L-O-L-A Lola, or something like that. More people would read it! :)
Seriously, that stuff turns me way off. It's as if the author wants to advertise: way over your head, civilian fool!
Hard to put that stuff into practice in everyday life, IMO.
This looks utterly, utterly awesome. Dunno when i will read it, tho - like others, i find it hard to concentrate on something journal-article length online, because when i'm online i usually have multiple tabs open and my concentration skips from one page to the other in short bursts rather than styaying on something for a long period like i can with a paper journal/book...
I wonder if this has something to do with the effect on my eyes of the light from the monitor screen (whereas, of course, paper doesn't emit light - it's like the moon rather than the sun).
Back on topic, i think there are deep and real parallels between postcolonial issues and disability issues, and i'm really excited to see them being given serious academic consideration (particularly within the postcolonial studies "scene" rather than, or as well as, disability studies).
As Franz Fanon might have said, arise ye wretched of the earth... ;)
