One of the greatest challenges facing modern global health is how
to include the most marginalized and impoverished people in
international efforts to promote social and economic development.
In Disability and International Development disability rights are
situated within the broader context of global health and the need
for much greater inter-sector collaboration. Reports from a broad
cross-section of low- and middle-income countries-locales as
diverse as Zimbabwe, Bolivia, Kyrgyzstan, and Papua New Guinea-move
beyond surface discussions of "what is working" and "what shows
promise" to discuss political and governance contexts, the roles of
disabled persons in research by outsiders, concurrent struggles
(e.g., women's or children's rights), and instructive inroads made
by community activists and national Disabled People's
Organizations. The results are provocative, and offer new lenses
for viewing both the issues and the populations they affect. Each
of the book's chapters spotlights a topic as representative of the
enormity and immediacy of challenges to inclusive global health,
including: The impact of international human rights law on domestic
law and local traditions. The effect of failed states on the lives
of people with disabilities. Empowerment and advocacy: disability
organizations and movements. HIV/AIDS interventions with disabled
persons. Assistive technologies in low-income countries. Strategies
for improving the lives of children with disabilities.
Cross-disciplinary as well as cross-cultural, Disability and
International Development will attract a wide audience of
professionals in rehabilitation, social welfare and human rights;
governmental and non-governmental organizations and disabled
people's organizations; researchers and practitioners. It will also
be relevant to those working in health and welfare administration,
health policy, international aid and development, and human rights.
In addition, graduate students in disability studies, public and
global health and international development should find this an
important guide to the future of these fields.
