Sutherland challenges the stereotyped passive roles that the disabled have inherited from our society and the stigma associated with varous forms of disability. Institutions and individuals are reluctant to banish even the most basic forms of discrimination -- those that could be eliminated by the provision of mobility access, sign language translation, and the simple courtesy of recognizing other people's needs. He describes his own experiences as a disabled person and shoes how a group of people he interviewed for this book have evolved new attitudes about their situation. Disable We Stand is impassioned, even angry -but also hopeful and practical, suggesting actions that will lead to change. The book is imbued with the spirit and energy of people who are determined to take their lives into their own hands.
