| Description | This chapter examines Miranda Fricker's discussion of the conditions that must prevail for a form of epistemic disadvantage to constitute epistemic injustice, that is, the necessary conditions for a form of hermeneutical disadvantage to count as hermeneutical injustice. It shows that insofar as Fricker does not account for the apparatus of disability and its political character in the distinction that she draws between hermeneutical disadvantages that result from injustice and hermeneutical disadvantages that result from "bad luck", the motivation for the distinction is unjustified, and the distinction itself remains unsubstantiated. The chapter considers how disability has been left out of analyses of a now widely-used example of testimonial injustice that she introduced, namely, the trial of Tom Robinson in Harper Lee's 1960 novel To Kill a Mockingbird. It argues that Fricker and Medina fail to recognize that Robinson, as a black man within the context of white supremacy, also is not entitled to be an object of sympathy or pity.
