    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.
