This book provides a contemporary, progressive theoretical lens through which to view disability within a broad diversity agenda. The authors advance a new theoretical approach, Explanatory Legitimacy, to analyze and discuss disability as three
elements, description, explanation and legitimate membership.
The book is comprised of three sections:
Section I-Foundations sets the historical and current political-economic context of disability determination and response. Section II- Explanatory Legitimacy Theory, provides a detailed discussion and analysis of theory.
Section III- Fashioning Communities ,applies progressive rethinking of disability to professional and community change.
