How do disabled people live in today's world, and how do they relate to "everyone else"? What obstacles do they face along the way? This book offers a fascinating window into the universe of disability. The author lays bare the controversies, prejudices, opinions, and assumptions that so often collide with this reality. The book will appeal especially to those who don't encounter disability closely in their own lives—offering them both information about the history and origins of disability itself, and a chance to rethink what they thought they knew. It's an unpretentious work, easy to read, enriched by real testimonies on everything from sexuality to social and political integration.
