Disability Matters - Carol Beardmore - Bog

This book explores how communities, stakeholder groups and
policy makers have thought about people with mental and
physical impairments between the nineteenth and twenty-first centuries. At a time when new thinking is
desperately needed our book argues that this can only be
delivered through a wider, more diverse and (above all)
historically informed debate about the nature and meaning of mental and physical impairment. For us, history is the key to a welfare future.
