Abstract:This essay explores the experiences and representations of several southern roots musicians with limb loss or limb differences. Through an examination of the lives of the one-armed Carolinian banjoist and busker "Uncle" Frank Rayborn in the 1950s and 1960s, amputee Confederate veterans who performed at early-twentieth century fiddlers' contests, the one-armed "barn dance" radio musician Emory Martin, and the African-American bluesman "Peg Leg" Howell, this essay explores wider issues of patronage, voyeurism, agency in the roots music—particularly old-time, country, and blues—in the twentieth-century US South. In the process, this essay draws attention to the juncture where disability, poverty, gender, and race meet in the South, and calls us to reconsider narratives of embodiment, difference, and spectacle not at the "extremities" of southern culture and history but at their cores.

Abstract:This article explores neurodiversity, eugenics, and Appalachian identity in the early twentieth-century American South through the lens of the author's family history. It discusses the loss of a relative to long-term institutionalization. The article proposes that the central premise of the ideology and pseudoscience of eugenics—that deviance, disability, and most social ills are hereditary—posed a sufficient threat to families with disabled members to enforce their complicity with ableist practices and social structures in many cases, especially when paired with virtually nonexistent home- and community-based services. It also suggests that insufficient home- and community-based services continue to drive disabled people into institutions against their will to this day.

Abstract:This article examines the roles race, gender, and disability played in the medical sterilization of African American men in Virginia during the opening decade of the twentieth century. Using the experimental work of Dr. Charles Carrington as a window into the negative eugenics movement, it describes how state actors worked to create a barrier between Blackness and white society. Highlighting the cases of Hiram Steele, Frank Baylor and Richard Mills, this article looks closely at how African American men were characterized by medical professionals. Further, it analyzes medical professionals' strategic use of racialized and gendered stereotypes to legitimize their actions. Finally, it places African American men at the forefront of the state's first sterilization program.

Abstract:Leroy F. Moore Jr. has had a wide-ranging and influential career at the intersection of disability arts, advocacy, and activism. With Keith Jones, he cofounded the Krip-Hop Nation, a worldwide collective of artists and activists working to amplify the work of disabled creators. A crucial voice in expanding the presence of disability within the culture, Krip-Hop Nation is deeply informed by Moore's long career of activism in the worlds of disability justice (a movement and philosophy that Moore helped create) and racial justice. Krip-Hop, like Moore himself, is particularly insistent on confronting issues like police violence, sexual harassment, and employment discrimination that are disproportionately experienced by disabled people. Charles L. Hughes conducts an interview with Moore that explores popular music, justice, education, and the Disability Community.
摘要：Leroy F.Moore Jr.在残疾艺术、倡导和行动主义的交叉领域有着广泛而有影响力的职业生涯。他与Keith Jones共同创立了Krip Hop Nation，这是一个由艺术家和活动家组成的世界性集体，致力于扩大残疾创作者的作品。Krip Hop Nation是扩大残疾在文化中存在的关键声音，Moore在残疾正义（Moore帮助创建的一场运动和哲学）和种族正义领域的长期激进主义生涯深深打动了他。克里普·霍普和摩尔本人一样，特别坚持面对警察暴力、性骚扰和就业歧视等问题，这些问题在残疾人中尤为严重。查尔斯·L·休斯对摩尔进行了一次采访，探讨了流行音乐、司法、教育和残疾人社区。

Abstract:When artist Patrick Dean died in May of 2021, he left behind sketchbooks, paintings, loose pieces of paper, cardboard, newsprint, a couple of sculptures, and several other things he'd drawn or painted on. After being diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Dean said that he would draw as long as he was able, and he continued to experiment with different methods. With the help of his family, he learned to use eye-tracking technology. This technology, instrumental in allowing those with limited mobility to communicate, wasn't exactly intended for creating art, but Dean was determined to make it work that way. As his hands slowly stopped being able to create work, his proficiency with eye-tracking software steadily improved.

Abstract:At the national leprosarium in Carville, Louisiana, diverse groups of people diagnosed with leprosy or Hansen's disease (HD) forged an unexpected disability culture of music, touch, and recreation. In the 1970s, HD patients from the small Kalaupapa, Molokai, settlement in Hawai'i arrived at the vast Carville facility seeking advanced medical treatment. They interacted with other people medically sequestered in the US South, including African Americans, Latinos, whites, and recent immigrants. Some residents had benefited from a 1940s sulfone antibiotic cure, while others had a range of physical disabilities. These older adults also shared the experience of stigma, social exclusion, and separation from kin, although leprosy incarceration policies had been far harsher and enacted much earlier in Hawai'i than at Carville. Memoirs and snapshots produced by Hawai'i residents reveal how social encounters in the South influenced their life choices and institutional demands at a critical moment of transition and mobility for disabled people in the late twentieth century.

Abstract:This article offers a brief introduction to the Disability issue of Southern Cultures. It briefly recounts the contexts for disabled politics and scholarship, and then spotlights the issue's contents within those contexts. Each article in the issue is briefly discussed. Framed around the multiple methods of self-definition and community-building in which disabled people have historically engaged, Hughes calls on the issue's readers to use it as both a source of information and an impetus for further storytelling and action.
