Ubuntu Philosophy and Disabilities in Sub-Saharan Africa: Oliver Mutanga Ubuntu Philosophy and Disabilities in Sub-Saharan Africa
Oliver Mutanga
R3,969 Discovery Miles 39 690 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This book uses Ubuntu philosophy to illuminate the voices of people with disabilities from Sub-Saharan Africa. Disability literature is largely dominated by scholars and studies from the Global North, and these studies are largely informed by Global North theories and concepts. Although Disability literature in the Global South is now fast growing, most studies continue to utilise conceptual, theoretical, and philosophical frameworks that are framed within Global North contexts. This presents two major challenges: Firstly, the voices of people with disabilities in the Global South remain on the fringes of disability discourses. Secondly, when their voices are heard, their realities are distorted. This edited book, consisting of 11 chapters, provides case-studies from Botswana, Ghana, Lesotho, Malawi, Namibia, Uganda, and South Africa to explore disability in various fields: inclusive education, higher education, environment, Open Distance Learning, and Technical and Vocational Education and Technical Colleges. By challenging the global hegemonic discourses on disability by contributing to the ways in which Global South disability is understood, this book will be of interest to all scholars and students of disability studies, development studies, medical sociology, and African studies.

Students with Disabilities and the Transition to Work - A Capabilities Approach (Hardcover): Oliver Mutanga Students with Disabilities and the Transition to Work - A Capabilities Approach (Hardcover)
Oliver Mutanga
R3,974 Discovery Miles 39 740 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This book sets out to understand how students with disabilities experience higher education and the transition to the workplace. It foregrounds the voices of students and graduates in order to explore identity, inclusion, participation and success of youth with disabilities in higher education, as well as their transition from university to employment. The author proposes a new understanding of disability, considered in terms of a continuum of abilities, balancing empirical data, theory and policy analysis with specific regard to the interests of youth with disabilities, making a unique contribution to discussions on access, inclusion and success in higher education and employment. These discussions inform social development and educational policy planning and implementation, not only in South Africa, but also in countries with a similar context, particularly in terms of remedial courses of action that bring social justice to people with disabilities. Students with Disabilities and the Transition to Work will be of interest to all scholars and students working in the fields of disability studies, particularly those with a focus on critical disability studies and disability in the global south, as well as those working in higher education, sociology, development studies and social policy.
