Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This book brings together selected texts by a longstanding disabled political activist. The aim of the book is to enable its readers to gain insights into theoretical, political, social, and personal issues Bob has explored along with others. From how disabled people are viewed and treated, through to revealing some of the consequences of facing disablism, the book challenges our thinking. The importance of this short book is that it captures the political struggle by disabled people over the last five decades and the ideas, experiences, and feelings that underpinned the rise of disability politics.

Paperback. Condition: New. 'A masterful intervention that is particularly pertinent for an age of austerity, pandemic, and rising living costs' Robert Chapman, author of Empire of NormalityThe rise of the extreme right globally, the crisis of capitalism and the withdrawal of all but the most punitive arms of the state are having a disastrous impact on disabled people's lives.Bob Williams-Findlay offers an account of the transformative potential of disability praxis and how it relates to disabled politics and activism. He addresses different sites of struggle, showing how disabled people have advanced radical theory into the implementation of policies.Examining the growth of the global Disabled People's Movement during the 1960s, Williams-Findlay shows how a new social discourse emerged that shifted the focus away from seeing disability as restrictions on an individual's body, towards understanding the impact of restrictions created by capitalist relations. He shines light on the contested definitions of disability, asking us to reconsider how different socio-political contexts produce varied understandings of social oppression and how we can play a role in transforming definitions and societies.
