Disabled People and Social Policy Summary

Disabled People and Social Policy: From Exclusion to Inclusion by M.J. Oliver

Disabled People and Social Policy: From Exclusion to Inclusion provides an informed and accessible introduction to the key issues in disability and social policy which have emerged in light of the changing approaches towards disability over the last fifteen years. The concepts of exclusion and inclusion provide the central focus around which the book is organised, and are examined in economic, social, political, ideological, moral and cultural terms. The book is divided into two parts, Part One contains the central tenets of the authors argument and Part Two includes selected extracts from published documents which highlight the issues raised throughout the text.
