In this volume, legal scholars, historians, and disability-rights activists demonstrate that disabled people can change their social status by transforming the political and legal discourse surrounding disablement. Employing tools from the fields of law and history, this original contribution explores how disabled people have been portrayed and treated in a variety of contexts, including within the labour market, the workers’ compensation system, the immigration process, and the legal system (both as litigants and as lawyers). It deepens our knowledge of the role of people with disabilities within social movements in disability history. The contributors encourage us to rethink our understanding of both the systemic barriers disabled people face and the capacity of disabled people to effect positive societal change.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: CAItem Height: 229mmItem Length: 152mmItem Weight: 360gContributor: Ravi Malhotra (Edited by), Benjamin Isitt (Edited by)Genre: Society & CultureBook Series: Disability Culture and PoliticsTopic: Social Sciences, Law & PoliticsAuthor: Ravi MalhotraRelease Year: 2018 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
