Quick Navigation

Overview

This landmark book addresses disability in the context of gender, race, politics and society. Authored by several leading researchers from across South Africa, Disability in Context encourages you to take a holistic approach to education for people with disabilities looking beyond government policy and best practice to the underlying intellectual framework. You are asked to critically examine the dominant narratives surrounding disabled people, and consider how international conventions, primary research and academic theory can be combined to improve the conditions of people living with disabilities across South Africa and the world.
