This approachable study explores experiences of physical and mental
impairment in Britain since the Industrial Revolution. Using
literary, visual, and oral sources to complement documentary
evidence, Anne Borsay pays particular attention to the testimonies
of disabled people. Disability and Social Policy in Britain since
1750: - places disability policies within their historical context
- examines citizenship and social exclusion from a historical
perspective - sketches the key characteristics of modern industrial
societies - focuses on the shifting mixed economy of welfare, the
development of social rights and the construction of identity -
assesses institutional living in workhouses, hospitals, asylums,
and schools - appraises community living with reference to
employment, financial relief and community care - reviews social
policies post-1979 Borsay argues that disabled people were excluded
from the full rights of citizenship because they were marginal to
the labour market and suggests that history may play a role in
raising personal and political consciousness. Containing
illustrations, and clearly structured, this book is an ideal guide
for all those with an interest in the history of disability and
social policies.
