More About This Textbook

Editorial Reviews

Library Journal
Fleischer (humanities and social sciences, New Jersey Inst. of Technology) and disability rights activist Zames (emeritus, mathematics, New Jersey Inst. of Technology) conducted close to 100 interviews to compile the research for this study on the disability rights movement in the United States. The book takes a historical look at the social context of the rights of the vast number of Americans who are disabled and the ever-evolving attitude toward them, from the time of Franklin Roosevelt to today. Also addressed are the multiple aspects of disability, with updated information about the 1990 Americans with Disabilities Act and a detailed chronology dating back to 1817. This work is geared toward the research needs of college students and would be a useful addition to academic libraries wanting an overall study on the subject. Monica Maldonado Doman, Cypress Coll.
