Book Description

May 24, 2001 0761916520 978-0761916529 1st
This path-breaking Handbook of Disability Studies signals the emergence of a vital new area of scholarship, social policy and activism. Drawing on the insights of disability scholars around the world and the creative advice of an international editorial board, the book engages the reader in the critical issues and debates framing disability studies and places them in an historical and cultural context. Five years in the making, this one volume summarizes the ongoing discourse ranging across continents and traditional academic disciplines.

The Handbook answers the need expressed by the disability community for a thought provoking, interdisciplinary, international examination of the vibrant field of disability

5.0 out of 5 stars What it's like to live with various disabilities, August 10, 2002
This review is from: Handbook of Disability Studies (Hardcover)
Handbook Of Disability Studies by Gary L. Albrecht (Professor of Public Health and of Disability & Human Development, University of Chicago, Illinois) is an informed and informative survey of the growing and evolving field of disability studies. Professor Albrecht presents the reader with an accurate picture of what it's like to live with various disabilities, and then examines how this critically important social issue has been regarded in the past, as well as its somewhat uncharted future. Handbook Of Disability Studies is very highly recommended reading for anyone interested in learning more about disabilities, how they affect life, and how the disabled adapt to their circumstances and conditions.
