Reviews
Mary Jane Mossman, Osgoode Hall Law School, York University:
The essays in this collection demonstrate how social values, institutional priorities, and political will have identified current concepts of “disability”; at the same time, these authors challenge us to re-think our assumptions and our categories to forge a new vision of equality, one that takes account of “who and what gets valued, and who and what gets marginalized.” This collection is important for all Canadians who want to understand the lived experiences of persons with disabilities, who want to make a difference in their lives – by transforming their “dis-citizenship” into valuable contributions to our collective life as citizens.
