Reviews

'In setting out a wide-ranging historical and cultural explanation for the current devaluing and social exclusion of disabled people in Britain today, the authors demonstrate both how we have got to this point of disengagement, and what needs to happen to move forward towards the development of more equitable service provision. In so doing, I believe that this book offers a way forward towards the development of dialogues across difference within the disability field that will ultimately lead to true partnerships for change.' - From the Foreword by Claire Tregaskis
