Dear all

The Social Model of Disability: Europe and the Majority World
Edited by Colin Barnes and Geof Mercer
Over the last three decades disability activists and writers have advocated the social model of disability as a comprehensive critique of orthodox academic and administrative approaches to the understanding and development of social policy for disabled people. 'The Social model of Disability: Europe and the Majority World' contains thirteen chapters on the application of social model inspired thinking outside Britain. Contributors include academics, activists and practitioners. They raise several important issues and concerns central to theorising and applying social model insights to 'developed' and majority world countries. Examples include emerging debates within the European Union, including transport, law and citizenship, with case studies of France, Sweden and Disabled Peoples' International. Focus on the majority world covers human rights and development strategies, user led initiatives and community based rehabilitation with case studies of Bangladesh and Egypt.
