Human Rights and Disability
Interdisciplinary Perspectives
Synopsis
The formerly established medically-based idea of disability, with its charity-based approach to treatment and services, is being replaced by a human rights-based approach in which people with impairments are no longer considered medical problems, totally dependent on the beneficence of non-impaired people in society, but have fundamental rights to support, inclusion, and participation. This interdisciplinary book examines the diverse concerns that people with impairments face in the context of human rights, provides insights into new developments on important issues relating human rights to disability, and features new approaches and solutions to vital problems in the current debate.

What Reviewers Are Saying
Disability human rights talk is ubiquitous, but disability human rights thought is scarce. This book helps fill that gap, by subjecting human rights rhetoric to rigorous but supportive interrogation. An excellent roster of authors show us what is needed to promote the flourishing of disabled people. Professor Tom Shakespeare, University of East Anglia.
