The onslaught of neoliberalism, austerity measures and cuts, impact
of climate change, protracted conflicts and ongoing refugee crisis,
rise of far right and populist movements have all negatively
impacted on disability. Yet, disabled people and their allies are
fighting back and we urgently need to understand how, where and
what they are doing, what they feel their challenges are and what
their future needs will be. This comprehensive handbook emphasizes
the importance of everyday disability activism and how activists
across the world bring together a wide range of activism tactics
and strategies. It also challenges the activist movements,
transnational and emancipatory politics, as well as providing
future directions for disability activism. With contributions from
senior and emerging disability activists, academics, students and
practitioners from around the globe, this handbook covers the
following broad themes: * Contextualising disability activism in
global activism * Neoliberalism and austerity in the global North *
Rights, embodied resistance and disability activism * Belonging,
identity and values: how to create diverse coalitions for rights *
Reclaiming social positions, places and spaces * Social media,
support and activism * Campus activism in higher education *
Inclusive pedagogies, evidence and activist practices * Enabling
human rights and policy * Challenges facing disability activism The
Routledge Handbook of Disability Activism provides disability
activists, students, academics, practitioners, development partners
and policy makers with an authoritative framework for disability
activism.
