Summary: Brilliant book!
Comment: This is a great book. It shows you that disability is not about charity, it is about rights, about social exclusion, and about oppression. The book contains articles from some of the early British pioneers of the disability movement, right up to today. If you're interested in disability studies, read this book. It engages with debates about disability and gender, disability and ethnicity, disability and the built environment.

I particularly liked the chapters by Ayesha Vernon (on multiple oppression), Rob Imrie (on the wya the built environment is disablist) and by Paul Hunt (an early disability rights activist) on the early struggles of disabled people to get out of institutions.
