The second edition of this widely used text has been carefully
rewritten to ensure that it is up-to-date with cutting-edge
debates, evidence, and policy changes. Since the book's initial
publication, there has been an expansion of interest in disability
in the social sciences, and disability has come to play an
increasingly prominent role in political debates. The new edition
takes account of all these developments, and also gives greater
emphasis to global issues in order to reflect the increasing and
intensifying interdependence of nation states in the twenty-first
century.
The authors examine, amongst other issues, the changing nature
of the concept of disability, key debates in the sociology of
health and illness, the politicisation of disability, social
policy, and the cultural and media representation of disability. As
well as providing an excellent overview of the literature in the
area, the book develops an understanding of disability that has
implications for both sociology and society.
The second edition of "Exploring Disability" will be
indispensable for students across the social sciences, and in
health and social care, who really want to understand the issues
facing disabled people and disabling societies.
