Hi John,
Devva Kasnitz and I have a chapter called, "Engaging Anthropology in
Disability Studies," in the forthcoming book, "The Semiotics of
Dis/ability: Interrogating the Categories of Difference," Beth Swadener
and Linda Rogers, eds., SUNY Press. We will be making final editorial
changes to that piece soon. We have included a lengthy biblio in the
chapter, but are not sure how much of it will be in the final version.
I've pulled out many of the anthro refs for you. Hope this helps.
