Reviews

An interesting and sometimes challenging book that largely succeeded in presenting a very diverse range of arguments around a coherent theme. It makes a contribution to the contemporary literature on disability by confronting a number of difficult issues head on. Mark Priestley, Journal of Social Policy, Volume 40/1 2011
