Reviews

'Do not judge this book by its cover. The plain cover art and straightforward title belies the refreshing manner in which the book is presented. It is an excellent example of the richness and value of an interdisciplinary approach to disability issues. Drawing on key tenets of Law, Geography and Disability Studies, the author Fayyaz Vellani, a British-based academic, has written a carefully crafted book'. Social and Cultural Geography 'Understanding Disability Discrimination Law through Geography will be of interest to those who wish to get a flavour of the potential micro-power relations within universities and the everyday experiences of disabled students navigating these systems, and it is these views which we believe give the most novelty to the work'.Disability and Society
