Making Rights a Reality? explores the way in which disability
activists in the United Kingdom and Canada have transformed their
aspirations into legal claims in their quest for equality. It
unpacks shifting conceptualizations of the political identity of
disability and the role of a rights discourse in these dynamics. In
doing so, it delves into the diffusion of disability rights among
grassroots organizations and the traditional disability charities.
It then shows how the diffusion of this rights model of disability
can explain how and why disability activists have deployed legal
strategies in pursuit of their goals. The book draws on a wealth of
primary sources including court records and campaign documents and
encompassing interviews with more than sixty activists and legal
experts. While showing that the disability rights movement has had
a significant impact on equality jurisprudence in two countries,
the book also demonstrates that the act of mobilizing rights can
have consequences, both intended and unintended, for social
movements themselves.
