Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"Disability studies have been ignored by mainstream sociology for far too long. This book will place them squarely on the academic agenda and is a must for all self-respecting sociologists." M. J. Oliver, University of Greenwich "This book makes a significant contribution to the developing theory of disability, and does not shy away from exploring the theoretical fuzziness that is commonly found in the field. Comprehensive in scope, the work both examines the issues involved in a socio-political social justice and rights approach to disability, and surveys the ideas of most of the key thinkers in this developing area." Marcia H. Rioux, Ph D, President, Roeher Institute "This is a very readable, scholarly, thoughtful and thought-provoking text, which should be a set book on disability studies courses, including those within sociology departments." Len Barton, Department of Educational Studies, University of Sheffield 'Exploring Disability provides a comprehensive introduction to the sociology of disability suggesting areas of enquiry that could be explored in greater depth ... This book provides a necessary foundation for developing a fuller understanding of ... areas within a sociological framework. In consequence it makes a significant contrbution to the discipline of sociology.' Sociology
