- Provides students and teachers with easy access to many of the
most important current disability issues and debates.
- Offers a clearly focused account, and bridges some important
gaps in the existing disability literature by including issues
relevant to disabled people of all ages.
- Examines how contemporary societies organise and control
generational boundaries and progression through the life course for
disabled people (covers birthrights and eugenics, childhood, youth
transitions, interdependence and adulthood, old age and death and
dying).
- The emphasis is on contemporary policy and politics, including
the claims and struggles of the disabled people’s movement,
and Priestley provides examples of disabling policies and practices
in different countries.
- Includes case studies illustrating key issues, together with relevant discussion and teaching points, and suggestions for further research and reading.
