Description: Over the last thirty years, the field of disability studies has emerged from the political activism of disabled people. In this challenging review of the field, leading disability academic and activist Tom Shakespeare argues that the social model theory has reached a dead end. This new edition is updated throughout, drawing on Shakespeare's most recent thinking, the controversy surrounding the first edition and the World Report on Disability, as well as incorporating a new chapter on disability in a global context.
