Disability

David M. Turner

£25.00


Spanning over 500 years of British history and unearthing countless untold tales and voices, David Turner shows how attitudes in the past were often more open than we assume. And where they were not, we see how disabled people and their allies have always demanded just treatment; whether petitioning for better community support in the 16th century, campaigning for integrated education in the 19th, or protesting inaccessible transport in the 21st, the fight for equality has deep historical roots. Turning the spotlight on disabled people's histories - and appreciating their stories as ones of resistance, resourcefulness and resilience, as well as suffering and hardship - has never been more urgent. This book reveals the realities of disabled life in Britain across time so that we can fully understand our past - and the work we must do for a truly inclusive society moving forward.
