Description
Disability: A Life Course Approach provides a clear and focused account of current disability issues and debates. This book bridges gaps in existing literature by exploring issues relevant to disabled people of all ages, using a novel life course approach. The book examines how contemporary societies organise and control generational boundaries and progression through the life course for disabled people, including topics such as birthrights, childhood, youth transitions, interdependence, adulthood, old age, and death and dying. It frames these discussions within a social model approach, drawing on international debates about the citizenship and human rights of disabled people. This book functions as both a resource guide and a tool for learning, featuring reviews of existing literature, theoretical debates, case studies, and discussion points to support further research and reading.
