Disability in Africa has received significant attention as a
dimension of global development and humanitarian initiatives.
Little international attention is given, however, to the ways in
which disability is discussed and addressed in specific countries
in Africa. Little is known also about the ways in which persons
with disabilities have advocated for themselves over the past one
hundred years and how their needs were or were not met in locations
across the continent. Kenya has been on the forefront of disability
activism and disability rights since the middle of the twentieth
century. The country was among the first African states to create a
legal framework addressing the rights of persons with disabilities,
namely the Persons with Disabilities Act of 2003. Kenya, however,
has a much longer history of institutions and organizations that
are dedicated to addressing the specific needs of persons with
disabilities, and substantial developments have occurred since the
introduction of the legal framework in 2003. Disability and Social
Justice in Kenya: Scholars, Policymakers, and Activists in
Conversation is the first interdisciplinary and multivocal study of
its kind to review achievements and challenges related to the
situation of persons with disabilities in Kenya today, in light of
the country's longer history of disability and the wide range of
local practices and institutions. It brings together scholars,
activists, and policymakers who comment on topics including
education, the role of activism, the legal framework, culture, the
impact of the media, and the importance of families and the
community.
