About this ebook
Disability and Society: Ideological and Historical Dimensions
explores the changing relationship between disability and society in
Western culture from early modern times to the present, with a
particular emphasis on Ireland.
Dr Patrick McDonnell identifies the main ideologies and practices that have
shaped the relationship between disability and society, describes how
these emerged over time, and discusses their continuing impact on social,
political and cultural life today.
Rather than interpreting
disability in medical or clinical terms, the author places disability in
a broad historical and socio-political framework and links changing
responses to disability with other important social, political and
cultural movements. As well as being a valuable addition to the field of
disability studies, Disability and Society is also essential
reading for students of the social sciences, psychology, education,
equality and health studies, and for policy makers.
