In Australia and in many other societies around the world, the
political economic and cultural concerns of people with
disabilities have been marginalized. As a result of this, people
with disabilities are among the greatest socioeconomically
downtrodden; consequently they are one of the most socially
excluded peoples in society. Based on interviews with leading
politicians and academics, extensive document based research, and
engagement with key theoretical and policy debates, this book
engages with key policy and social issues for people with
disabilities. In addition to analysing current policy and social
processes around disability, this book aims to contribute to more
developed approaches to disability services. The author also
provides important and new insights into these issues through
personal narratives about his own experiences of living with a
degenerative disability. This book will be of interest to
researchers in social and political sciences, and also to people
interested in learning more about the experiences and political
struggles of people with disabilities in contemporary societies and
their influences on policy processes.
