Book by Barnes Colin Mercer Geof

Críticas:

"In Disability, Barnes and Mercer raise the bar for any future discussions of the social model of disability. Their well--grounded work uses the social model to analyse the classic questions of the definition, production, representation, experience, stratification, exclusion, politics and globalization of disability. This timely book is a must read for students, scholars and activists." Gary L. Albrecht, University of Illinois at Chicago "This book is essential reading for all disability studies scholars. It is historically well--grounded and theoretically rigorous, carefully exploring theories of disability, impairment and the body. The nature of the social oppression experienced by disabled people is analysed, and disability is located in relation to gender, a racea and social class. Like all good sociology, the book is highly accessible and an excellent read." Sheila Riddell, University of Glasgow
