The United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with
Disabilities (CRPD) is increasingly used to civilize grassroots
disabled persons' organizations (DPOs) around the world. The
international disability rights movement actively promotes the
CRPD's key norm that disabled persons mobilize in support of their
rights under the Convention. The unintended consequence of these
activities, however, is that local groups focused on social support
and service provision, rather than disability-rights advocacy, are
targeted for change. While the resources provided by international
actors to grassroots organizations provide new opportunities, they
also create barriers to local groups' ability to promote full civic
participation of their members in the local community. Through a
detailed account of grassroots DPOs in Nicaragua, Civilizing
Disability Society demonstrates how local organizations navigate
pressures from abroad as they attempt to concretely address the
health, education and economic needs of their members at home.
