The Routledge History of Disability explores the shifting attitudes
towards and representations of disabled people from the age of
antiquity to the twenty-first century. Taking an international view
of the subject, this wide-ranging collection shows that the history
of disability cuts across racial, ethnic, religious, cultural,
gender and class divides, highlighting the commonalities and
differences between the experiences of disabled persons in global
historical context. The book is arranged in four parts, covering
histories of disabilities across various time periods and cultures,
histories of national disability policies, programs and services,
histories of education and training and the ways in which disabled
people have been seen and treated in the last few decades. Within
this, the twenty-eight chapters discuss topics such as developments
in disability issues during the late Ottoman period, the history of
disability in Belgian Congo in the early twentieth century, blind
asylums in nineteenth-century Scotland and the systematic killing
of disabled children in Nazi Germany. Illustrated with images and
tables and providing an overview of how various countries, cultures
and societies have addressed disability over time, this
comprehensive volume offers a global perspective on this rapidly
growing field and is a valuable resource for scholars of disability
studies and histories of disabilities.
