Using a post-structural and critical approach, this research has examined the intersections between race and disability within the narratives of non-white subjects living with chronic illness. What this research reflects is a global conversation regarding the ways in which capitalism, whiteness and ability impart limitations upon participants in this study, and how community activism and friendship serve as a form of empowerment and solace while navigating these structures of dominance.enCC0 1.0 Universalcritical disability studiespost-structuralcritical approachintersectionsracedisabilitynon-white subjectschronic illnesscapitalismwhitenessOther
