Understanding Disability Policy de Alan Roulstone

Understanding Disability Policy: Understanding Welfare: Social Issues, Policy and Practice

Autor Alan Roulstone, Simon Prideaux
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 17 ian 2012
We live at a paradoxical time for many disabled people: some achieve new freedoms while others face cuts in services and attempts to restrict who counts as disabled. Locating disability policy within broader social policy contexts, Alan Roulstone and Simon Prideaux critically explore the roles of social support, poverty, socio-economic status, community safety, spatial change, and other issues in shaping disabled people’s opportunities. They also consider implications for future policy developments, including the impact of changing government and academic understandings of disability.

Recenzii

 “Disability policy has changed dramatically over the last fifty years and especially so since the turn of 21st century. Roulstone and Prideaux have produced a comprehensive and accessible analysis of these changes that will prove to be an invaluable text for students, researchers and policy analysts across a range of disciplines: highly recommended.”--Colin Barnes, University of Leeds

“This comprehensive and engaging book is a valuable addition to disability studies and to social policy more generally. It is essential reading for anyone concerned with either the legacy of social policy responses to the 'problem' of disability or in current debates about the future development of disability policy.”--Hannah Morgan, University of Lancaster

“Roulstone and Prideaux have composed a beautiful book. It is engaging, accessible and meticulously written with a steady rhythm that invites the reader ... I have no hesitation in recommending this book. It’s easy to read, conceptually clear and logically mapped out.” 

“Understanding Disability Policy is a sophisticated and elegant book that engages with inherently complex and contested issues with conceptual clarity. . . . Roulstone and Prideaux have produced here an essential read for those from social work, disability studies, and all policy backgrounds.”

“Sometimes after reading a book it seems incredible that it did not exist already. So it is with Understanding Disability Policy, a book that unusually provides a historically grounded yet up-to-date introduction to disability policy—rather than disability studies—that is accessible enough for the undergraduate student and rich enough to provoke thought among more established researchers.”
