This powerful book presents a series of perspectives on the process
of self-organisation of disabled people which has taken place over
the last thirty years. The 1980s saw a transformation in our
understanding of the nature of disability, and consequently the
kinds of policies and services necessary to ensure the full
economic and social integration of disabled people. At the heart of
this transformation has been the rise in the number of
organisations controlled and run by disabled people themselves.
Through a series of interviews with disabled people who have been
centrally involved in the rise of the disability movement, the
authors present a new collective history which throws light on the
politics of the 1980s, and offers insights into future political
developments in the 1990s and on into the twenty-first century.
