| Abstract: | The disability pride movement, for example, failed to contest the neoliberal construction of mental illness and its relationship with what Ben-Moshe calls the carceral archipelago, the network of institutions and practices that punish, contain, create, and pathologize difference. Jasbir Puar's ([5]) exploration of these intersections of race, disability, and state violence in the context of settler colonialism, for example, calls not for disability pride, but disability prevention.
