Disability Politics: Understanding Our Past, Changing Our Future

by Jane Campbell and Mike Oliver - £41.99  Routledge (1996)
paperback    ISBN 13: 9780415079990 | ISBN 10: 0415079993

Is disability a civil rights issue?
 
This powerful book presents a series of perspectives on the process of self-organisation of disabled people which has taken place over the last thirty years. The 1980s saw a transformation in our understanding of the nature of disability and consequently the kinds of policies and services needed to ensure the full economic and social integration of disabled people.
 
The authors throw light on the politics of the past and offer insights into future political developments into the twenty-first century. This is achieved through a series of interviews with disabled people who have been central to the movement.
