Description
Disability and International Development provides a comprehensive overview of the key themes in the field of disability and development. This book introduces readers to the key topics and theories surrounding disability and development, drawing on examples from around the world.
The second edition includes increased coverage of environmental accessibility, intersectionality, and reflections on the disproportionate impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on disabled people. With its accessible style and range of reflection exercises, discussion questions, and further reading suggestions, this book is an ideal introduction to disability and international development for students and practitioners.
As governments and development actors seek to support disabled people in accessing their rights to full participation in society, a basic understanding of disability issues has never been more important. This book provides a valuable resource for anyone looking to understand the complex relationships between disability, poverty, and development.
