>> Subject: The concept of Representation
>>
>> Hi,
>>
>> I am searching literature about representation.
>> If any group of persons with disabilities has not an organisation or in
>> any country, who represents them? Especially persons with deafblindness
>> are such group: blind people have lots of organisations, but these are not
>> representing persons with deafblindness.
>> In practice, deafblind people are more or less totally without
>> representation in many, perhaps even most countries.
>> We can ask about ourselves: if we go a country where nobody represent
>> deafblind people, who represents them on behalf of missing ones?
