The first book of its kind, Images of the Disabled/Disabling
Images combines an examination of the presentation of persons with
disabilities in literature, film, and the media with an analysis of
the ways in which these images are expressed in public policy
concerning the disabled. Leaders of the disability rights movement
and major scholars of disability issues explore both attitudes
toward the disabled, as well as the ways in which the disabling
images of these attitudes are incorporated in employment, health,
housing, and education policies. Discussions include the appeal of
new technological aids and new developments in community
living.
