Useful information reached me on a "Special Topic" section of the current
Disability Studies Quarterly issue (2007) vol. 27 (4), entitled "The State
of Disability in Israel / Palestine".
http://www.dsq-sds.org/current_issue.html
This issue is open online. (I stopped looking at DSQ when it became
subscription-only -- but evidently, there are some parts, or some issues,
or some periods of grace, when the low-budget public can get a crack at it
for free -- I just did so).
This "Special Topic", edited by Liat Ben Moshe and Sumi Colligan, contains
their Introduction, and ten substantial articles by 16 authors on a variety
of disability, deafness and mental health issues, politics, policies,
historical background, activism, human rights etc within Israel /
Palestine, mostly at a critical and scholarly level, and providing a
significant number of additional references (in English or Hebrew).
Without necessarily endorsing any positions or views expressed, I think
this material can be recommended as worthwhile, up-to-date reading, and
should go some way toward meeting the enquiries of Deborah Chinn and Lilith
Finkler (this list, recent posts under "Disabled in Israel") for material
with a "disability studies" perspective.
