This article highlights the African American reconfiguration of the conventional Apocalyptic perception of disability in two plays by August Wilson, Joe Turner’s Come and Gone (1988) and Fences (1987). Wilson‟s focal plays present a flexible adaptation of Apocalyptic disability that counteracts cultural absolutism. They highlight the effaced role of African reality in proposing liminality as a valid epistemology to destabilize the presumed pattern that shapes the traditional Apocalypse. So, Wilson‟s dramaturgy visualizes an Apocalyptic disability that maintains a liminal construction, being a projection of various social and cultural experiences, a missing gap in Wilson‟s scholarship. Ultimately, I address the cultural context where disability and African culture intersect to free the subjugated pathologized black other from dominant imperial paradigms.

Critical review
تُعد هذه الدراسة إسهاماً مهماً في فهم كيفية إعادة تصور مفهوم الإعاقة في سياق نهاية العالم من منظور الثقافة الإفريقية الأمريكية. ومع ذلك، يمكن القول أن البحث قد استفاض في بعض النقاط النظرية على حساب التحليل العملي للنصوص المسرحية. كان من الممكن أن يكون هناك تركيز أكبر على كيفية تفاعل الشخصيات مع مفهوم الإعاقة في سياق الأحداث الدرامية بدلاً من التركيز الكبير على الإطار النظري. بالإضافة إلى ذلك، كان من الممكن أن يتناول البحث تأثير هذه التصورات على الجمهور وكيف يمكن أن تُسهم في تغيير النظرة المجتمعية للإعاقة.

The modern concepts of human rights crystallized after the world war It (1939 – 1945).After the war put its heavy load, the independent countries established the united Nations organization. This organization issued its charter which became one of the first documents of the international human rights. The charter stated the promotion of respecting human rights and the basic freedoms of all people without any discrimination because of gender, language or religion, and no difference between men and women. And since the charter lacked a list which deals in detail with the human rights, the united Nations issued the international announcement of the human rights on 10th December, 1948, which included the main principles of civilian, political, economic, social and cultural rights as well as individual freedoms. The reinforcement of the role of the united nations in preserving human rights came through the adoption of the international treaty of civil and political rights and the international treaty of economic, social and cultural rights in the year 1966. Those treaties provided the cover and the legal protection for a lot of rights which the international declaration of the human rights stated. Since then, many other treaties adopted different cases such as the treatment of prisoners, the situation of refugees, women rights and children rights. The application of the rules of the international law can be specified on both the internal national level and the international level through the work and the mutual effect from countries and with the help of national and international procedures. It is necessary that this is done through modifying these rules according to the national law that is applied in each country. The application of the legal rule in the national law plays a crucial role in applying the international rule in the field of human rights. In order to comply with the international criterion of human rights, it is necessary for the Arab countries to ratify the basic agreements of human rights, taking into consideration the peculiarity of the history of the development of each country. These purposes should help in the activity of the international and social organizations of human rights.
