Abstract

In the review article, the author reads Alicja Fidowicz’s monograph Niepełnospraw­ność w polskiej literaturze XX i XXI wieku dla dzieci i młodzieży [Disability in the Polish 20th- and 21st-Century Literature for Children and Young Adults] (2020) in the context of the maladic discourse. Problematising the narrative about disabil­ity through the lens of the presented theory allows her to demonstrate how Fidowicz’s use of the critical apparatus of disability studies for research on children’s literature sets new directions for interpreting texts addressed to young readers. Ac­cording to the author, Fidowicz not only exposes ‘epistemic (in)justice’ in scientific discourse and Polish literature but also proposes a new panorama of the history of children’s literature from the perspective of disability studies.
