Description

Exploring Disability by Colin Barnes and Geof Mercer is a comprehensive text that examines the complex issues surrounding disability in society. Since its initial publication, the field of disability studies has expanded significantly, with increasing attention to global perspectives and policy changes. The second edition of this widely used textbook takes account of these developments, providing an up-to-date overview of the literature on disability. The authors explore key debates in sociology, including the changing nature of disability, social policy, and cultural representation. This book offers a nuanced understanding of disability that has implications for both academic research and practical applications. Ideal for students across the social sciences and health and social care disciplines, Exploring Disability provides an essential framework for understanding the issues facing disabled people and disabling societies.
