Focusing on canonical novels, the book examines the roles of disabled child characters, highlighting their metaphorical and material significance. It argues that progressive disability politics are rooted in postcolonial issues, creating a dialogue between postcolonialism and disability studies. This study is the first to analyze the intersection of these two fields, offering fresh insights into the representation of disability in literature.
