This powerful volume represents the broadest engagement with
disability issues in South Africa yet. Themes include theoretical
approaches to and representations of disability, governmental and
civil society responses to disability, aspects of education as
these pertain to the oppression/liberation of disabled people,
social security for disabled people, the complex politics
permeating service provision relationships, and consideration of
disability in relation to human spaces - physical, economic and
philosophical. Noteworthy is the inclusivity of its nearly fifty
contributors, many of whom write both as disabled South Africans
and as educators, parents, linguists, psychologists, human rights
activists, entrepreneurs, mental health practitioners, academics,
and NGO and government officials. Equally stimulating is the range
of writing styles, including interviews, a provocatively stark
contrasting of voices in a chapter on Psychiatric Disability and
Social Change, various well crafted articles on theoretical issues
and the autobiographical style of many of the contributions.;
Firmly located within the social model of disability, this
collection will resonate powerfully with contemporary thinking and
research in the disability field and will set the benchmark for
cutting-edge debates in a transforming South Africa.
