Reviews

’This is a scholarly piece of work derived from the author's experiences as a researcher who has lived in Jordan and in Europe...The author directs the reader to consider how many of the issues of disability studies in the West are relevant to a country such as Jordan. He addresses issues such as whether rights are the primary concern of people with disabilities in countries with no welfare system or whether economic security is perceived as a greater need by people with disability living in such settings...This is a thoughtful and thought provoking book, which meets the very real gap in the literature, between disability activists in the North, the few of them who combine their interest with an interest in development issues, and a writer from the South who addresses issues of disability and development from a southern perspective.’ Sheila L. Wirz, University College London, UK 'This book is an honest and unflinching look at the needs of people with disabilities, and the attitudes towards them.' Digest of Middle East Studies
