Dear Disability Researchers I'd like take this opportunity to let you know of my newly published book on *disability and development in Burkina Faso*: https://www.palgrave.com/gp/book/9783030246778 *The book builds upon critiques of development in the disability domain by investigating the necessity and implications of theorising disability from the Global South and how development policies and practices pertaining to disabled people in such contexts might be improved by engaging with their voices and agency. It focuses on the lived experiences of disabled people in Burkina Faso, while situating these experiences, where necessary, in the wider national and regional contexts; and explores development agencies’ interventions with disabled people and the need to re-think these practices and ideologies which are often framed within western contexts. This work will appeal to policy makers, NGOs, academics, students and researchers in the fields of development and disability studies. * Please do not hesitate to contact me on [log in to unmask] should you require any further information!
