This chapter explores disability in relation to identity politics. Identity politics is the term used when a person claims their identity as a member of an oppressed or marginalised group and uses this as a point of departure for political action. The chapter considers the emergence of 'disabled' as a political identity, briefly explores the history of disability activism in the United Kingdom and acknowledges the emergence of 'biological citizenship' as an alternative to 'social model' identity politics. It then talks about the ways in which the identity position of 'disabled person' is often complicated by the coexistence of other identities. The chapter is mainly interested in the social aspect, rather than the personal, subjective aspect, of identity. It also considers disability as a social identity and explores some of the interconnections between a disabled identity and other 'minority' identities. Finally, it discusses the limits of identity politics and offer possible alternatives.
