Why I Burned My Book

Summary

Urges us to establish disability as a category of social, political, and historical analysis in much the same way that race, gender, and class already have been. The essays on bioethics and public policy examine the conflict of agendas between disability rights activists and non-disabled policy makers, healthcare professionals, and others.
