Through participantobservation and interviews with disabled Ukrainians across the social spectrum --rights activists, politicians, students, workers, entrepreneurs, athletes, andothers -- Phillips documents the creative strategies used by people on the marginsof postsocialist societies to assert claims to "mobile citizenship."
